17-acre lake in Nipissing District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 24 ft. The depth chart comes from Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1968, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The drawn water covers 17 acres wrapped in 1.4 miles of bank. With a shoreline index of 2.4, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 95% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 0.5 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. Nipissing District claims this one. If the bite dies, Turcotte Ponds is 1 mi to the southeast.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 7 to 24 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 20 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (4 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 7 to 24 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (20 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (4 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (20 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Structure-wise the chart holds 5 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 20 ft.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for Ontario waters are set by the Ontario fishing regulations (FMZ summary) — and special regulations can apply to Alexis Lake specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.
