18-acre lake in Muskoka District Municipality, Ontario. The lake tops out around 34 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Traced from the shoreline, Tamarack L. runs 18 acres with 0.8 miles of edge. A shoreline index of 1.3 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Roughly 45% 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. You'll find it in Muskoka District Municipality. For a second option, Crosson Lake lies 1 mi north.
In spring, brown bullhead run shallow here, mostly 2 to 8 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 3 to 12 ft before dropping to 10 to 25 ft for winter. Winter brown bullhead concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 29 ft. Fish it in after dark and the evening and you'll meet the bite.
