177-acre lake in Haliburton County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 160 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1971, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Traced from the shoreline, Lipsy Lake runs 178 acres with 4.6 miles of edge, broken up by 2 islands. The 2.5 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 14% of this chart. The basin spans about 1.4 mi end to end and 0.5 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in Haliburton County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Klaxon Lake, 1 mi south of here.
In spring, lake trout run shallow here, mostly 10 to 40 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 50 to 120 ft before dropping to 20 to 80 ft for winter. Spring lake trout concentrate at Main-lake point, a prime-rated point around 22 ft. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger most summer days.
