Rating depth structure for brown bullhead.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
17-acre pond in Lanark County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 8 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. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Pond on the Hill runs 17 acres with 0.8 miles of edge. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. You'll find it in Lanark County. For a second option, Bowers Lake lies 1 mi south.
Spring puts brown bullhead in skinny water — 2 to 8 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 2 to 8 ft, and winter fish hold in 2 to 8 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 7 ft, rated prime for winter brown bullhead. Plan around after dark and the evening in the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | dusk & night | open water | |
| Summer | 2 to 8 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (7 ft) | |
| Fall | 2 to 8 ft | dusk | Deep basin (7 ft) | |
| Winter | 2 to 8 ft | midday | Deep basin (7 ft) |
Count 3 structure marks on this chart. The deepest, Main-lake point, sits near 8 ft.
