28-acre lake in Nipissing District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 79 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1989 (a transect sounding survey). The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Drawn out, this is 28 acres of water rimmed by 1.8 miles of bank, with a single island in the mix. A development index of 2.4 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. Roughly 34% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Figure 0.6 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. The water lies in Nipissing District. The nearest mapped water is Eu Lake, 1 mi to the northeast.
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Top water on the chart: Secondary point, a point in the 10 ft range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
