76-acre lake in Cochrane District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 66 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1980 (a transect sounding survey). Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Drawn out, this is 77 acres of water rimmed by 3.9 miles of bank. The 3.2 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. About 39% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 1.7 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. The water lies in Cochrane District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: L. 19E-62, 2 mi northeast of here.
Come spring, look for walleye tight to the bank in 4 to 15 ft. They move out to 15 to 35 ft in summer and finish the year down in 20 to 40 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 21 ft that scores prime in fall. Best bite is the evening and early morning. A crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (6 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |
| Summer | 15 to 35 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (21 ft) | Crawler harness on bottom bouncer, Deep crankbait (trolled) |
| Fall | 12 to 40 ft | dusk & night | Break off the point (21 ft) | Jigging rap, Jig + big minnow |
| Winter | 20 to 40 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (21 ft) | Jigging spoon + minnow head, Rattle bait |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 2 to 8 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 20 ft, and winter fish settle into 5 to 15 ft. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 16 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (16 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (16 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (16 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Shallow bay flat (16 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring puts burbot in skinny water — 20 to 66 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 20 to 66 ft, and winter fish hold in 15 to 60 ft. Spring burbot concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 61 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 20 to 66 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (61 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 20 to 66 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (61 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 20 to 66 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (61 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 15 to 60 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (61 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
