37-acre lake in Nipissing District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 18 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Drawn out, this is 36 acres of water rimmed by 1.4 miles of bank. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.6) — enough points and pockets to pattern. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 60% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Figure 0.3 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. You'll find it in Nipissing District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Shanty Lake, 1 mi northeast of here.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 5 to 18 ft, wintering in 3 to 18 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 15 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.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 5 to 18 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (15 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 18 ft | dawn | Deep basin (15 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
