123-acre lake in Frontenac County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 160 ft. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Traced from the shoreline, Mair Lake runs 123 acres with 3.3 miles of edge. Index 2.1 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. About 19% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 0.8 mi long by 0.6 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Frontenac County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Redhorse Lake, 2 mi southeast of here.
Start shallow in spring: rainbow trout sit in 5 to 20 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 8 to 40 ft. The spot to know is Secondary point, a point in about 21 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.

|---|---|---|---|---|
