9-acre lake in Timiskaming District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 31 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Drawn out, this is 9 acres of water rimmed by 0.5 miles of bank. At index 1.2 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 37% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. The water lies in Timiskaming District. The nearest mapped water is Moon Lake, 0 mi to the east.
Start shallow in spring: splake sit in 5 to 25 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 9 to 31 ft, and winter fish settle into 7 to 31 ft. The spot to know is Shoreline break, a drop-off in about 14 ft of water that rates prime for splake in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (14 ft) | Small casting spoon (gold/orange), Inline spinner |
| Summer | 9 to 31 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (14 ft) | Trolled spoon at the thermocline, White tube jig (deep) |
