120-acre lake in Haliburton County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 43 ft. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The outline encloses 122 acres, worked by 3.9 miles of shoreline. An index of 2.5 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. 45% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. The basin spans about 1 mi end to end and 0.5 mi across at its widest. It sits in Haliburton County. If the bite dies, Frost Lake is 1 mi to the west.
Come spring, look for splake tight to the bank in 5 to 25 ft. Expect a summer slide to 13 to 43 ft, then a winter hold in 10 to 43 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 19 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Small casting spoon (gold/orange), Inline spinner |
| Summer | 13 to 43 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (19 ft) | Trolled spoon at the thermocline, White tube jig (deep) |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait |
| Winter | 10 to 43 ft | dawn | Break off the point (19 ft) | Jigging spoon tipped with minnow head, Small white tube |
