226-acre lake in Haliburton County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 25 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
On the chart, Rence Lake draws 225 acres inside 3.9 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.9) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 72% of this chart, as modeled. The basin spans about 1.2 mi end to end and 0.8 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in Haliburton County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Frank Lake, 1 mi north of here.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 25 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 21 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
