8-acre lake in Sudbury District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 23 ft. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Drawn out, this is 8 acres of water rimmed by 0.4 miles of bank. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 34% of this chart, as modeled. The water lies in Sudbury District. The nearest mapped water is Hamilton Lake, 1 mi to the southwest.
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 7 to 23 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 20 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 |

| Summer | 7 to 23 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (20 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
