106-acre lake in Haliburton County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 13 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1986 (a transect sounding survey). Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Traced from the shoreline, Upper Redstone Lake runs 107 acres with 2.5 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.7) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. Call it 0.7 mi long by 0.4 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Haliburton County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: South Galipo Lake, 1 mi north of here.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 13 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 4 to 13 ft, and winter fish hold in 2 to 13 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 13 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 13 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (4 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

The spring pattern is a shallow one: smallmouth bass in 3 to 12 ft. As the season builds they drop to 4 to 13 ft, wintering in 4 to 13 ft. Top water on the chart: Main-lake point, a point in the 4 ft range, prime in fall. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a drop shot (goby/minnow) or a ned rig gets it done.
