11-acre lake in Cochrane District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 16 ft. The depth chart comes from Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
On the chart, Thrasher Lake draws 10 acres inside 0.7 miles of shoreline. Index 1.5 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.3 mi. You'll find it in Cochrane District. For a second option, Stever Lake lies 0 mi west.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. As the season builds they drop to 5 to 16 ft, wintering in 2 to 16 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 13 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
