34-acre lake in Timiskaming District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 23 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Drawn out, this is 34 acres of water rimmed by 1.4 miles of bank. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.7) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 73% of this chart, as modeled. Figure 0.6 mi of water from one end to the other. The water lies in Timiskaming District. For a second option, Charles L. lies 0 mi southeast.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 7 to 23 ft before dropping to 3 to 20 ft for winter. Summer brook trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 20 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.

| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
