Rating depth structure for splake.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
73-acre lake in Renfrew County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 36 ft. The depth chart comes from Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1985 (a transect sounding survey). Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Drawn out, this is 73 acres of water rimmed by 2.2 miles of bank. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.8) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Roughly 68% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 0.8 mi, about 0.3 mi across. You'll find it in Renfrew County. The nearest mapped water is Smith Lake, 1 mi to the northeast.
These fish are listed in an exact-water agency record as forage or ecological context. They are not target-species profiles and do not affect DepthScout's Prime, Good, or Fair spot ratings.
Official Ontario MNRF Fish ON-Line record. The listing documents source-recorded presence, not present abundance or guaranteed catchability.
In spring, splake run shallow here, mostly 5 to 25 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 11 to 36 ft before dropping to 8 to 36 ft for winter. Winter splake concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 8 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) most summer days.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (7 ft) | Small casting spoon (gold/orange), Inline spinner |
| Summer | 11 to 36 ft chart-limited; documented 25 to 60 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (8 ft) | Trolled spoon at the thermocline, White tube jig (deep) |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (7 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait |
| Winter | 8 to 36 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 45 ft | dawn | Break off the point (8 ft) | Jigging spoon tipped with minnow head, Small white tube |
6 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 36 ft, is the deepest of them.

Break off the point is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 8 ft of water that rates prime for splake in winter. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For splake, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
