22-acre lake in Lanark County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 52 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The outline encloses 21 acres, worked by 0.8 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Roughly 23% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Figure 0.3 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. It sits in Lanark County. Its nearest charted neighbour, Murray Lake, is 2 mi to the southwest.
Spring puts yellow perch in skinny water — 3 to 12 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 15 to 35 ft.

A drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm covers the summer program.
