Fishing Wildcat Lake: what the data says

258-acre lake in Haliburton County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 50 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1971, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). The exact depth survey is published on its own because no defensible water-specific species roster was found.

The drawn water covers 260 acres wrapped in 8.6 miles of bank — 3 islands included. An index of 3.8 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. 77% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. End to end it runs roughly 1.9 mi, about 0.9 mi across. Haliburton County claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Bivouac Lake, is 1 mi to the southeast.
