6-acre lake in Cochrane District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 36 ft. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The drawn water covers 6 acres wrapped in 0.4 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.2), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 38% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Cochrane District claims this one. Deer Lake sits 0 mi northeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. Summer is a 10 to 30 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. Start at Shoreline break. It's a drop-off holding about 16 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (4 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (16 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Shoreline break (16 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
