29-acre lake in Haliburton County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 20 ft. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
The outline encloses 29 acres, worked by 1 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.3 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 60% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. End to end it runs roughly 0.4 mi, about 0.2 mi across. Haliburton County claims this one. If the bite dies, Bark Lake is 2 mi to the northwest.
Early season rainbow trout use the shallows, holding in 5 to 20 ft. Even in summer they hold at 5 to 20 ft; winter keeps them in 4 to 20 ft. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 16 ft, prime for winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon and you're in the game.
