7-acre lake in Nipissing District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 25 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
On the chart, Pine Lake draws 7 acres inside 0.4 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. 56% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. The water lies in Nipissing District. For a second option, Threetrails Lake lies 1 mi south.
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 8 to 25 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 21 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (21 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Shoreline break (11 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Structure-wise the chart holds 3 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 21 ft.
