21-acre lake in Cochrane District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 60 ft. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Traced from the shoreline, Leg of Lamb Lake runs 21 acres with 0.9 miles of edge. Its 1.3 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 29% of this chart. Call it 0.3 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Cochrane District.

Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 30 ft, wintering in 3 to 20 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 27 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

You won't need more than a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger most summer days.
