55-acre lake in Cochrane District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 25 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Drawn out, this is 55 acres of water rimmed by 1.4 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 81% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. End to end it runs roughly 0.5 mi, about 0.3 mi across. You'll find it in Cochrane District. The nearest mapped water is Fargo Lake, 1 mi to the west.
In spring, smallmouth bass run shallow here, mostly 3 to 12 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 25 ft before dropping to 8 to 25 ft for winter. Fall smallmouth bass concentrate at Main-lake point, a prime-rated point around 8 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a drop shot (goby/minnow) or a ned rig most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Ned rig, Tube jig |
| Summer | 8 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (11 ft) | Drop shot (goby/minnow), Ned rig |
| Fall | 8 to 25 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Jerkbait, Blade bait |
| Winter | 8 to 25 ft | midday | Break off the point (11 ft) | Blade bait, Hair jig |
Structure-wise the chart holds 5 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 21 ft.
