9-acre lake in Simcoe County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 7 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Drawn out, this is 9 acres of water rimmed by 0.4 miles of bank. A shoreline index of 1.1 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. The water lies in Simcoe County. The nearest mapped water is Farlain Lake, 2 mi to the east.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brown bullhead in 2 to 7 ft. The depth story barely changes: 2 to 7 ft through summer, 2 to 7 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 6 ft range, prime in winter. Time it for after dark and the evening.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 7 ft | dusk & night | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | |
| Summer | 2 to 7 ft | night & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | |
| Fall | 2 to 7 ft | dusk | Deep basin (6 ft) | |
| Winter | 2 to 7 ft | midday | Deep basin (6 ft) |
