Rating depth structure for brook trout.

6-acre lake in Cochrane District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 41 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. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Teetzel L. 5 maps at 6 acres behind 0.5 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.6) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Roughly 31% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Cochrane District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Teetzel Lake 4, is 1 mi to the southeast.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. Summer is a 10 to 30 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. Start at Shoreline break. It's a drop-off holding about 18 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (18 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Shoreline break (18 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
