72-acre lake near Yonker. The lake tops out around 26 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The drawn water covers 72 acres wrapped in 1.6 miles of bank. At index 1.3 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 59% of this chart, as modeled. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.6 mi with a 0.3-mi widest point. Division No. 13 claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Gordon Lake, is 3 mi to the northwest.
Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 15 ft. Summer is an 8 to 26 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 22 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 26 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (22 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (12 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring rainbow trout on Suffern Lake hold shallow, usually 5 to 20 ft. They move out to 7 to 26 ft in summer and finish the year down in 5 to 26 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 12 ft that grades prime for winter. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon.
