179-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 22 ft. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Drawn out, this is 180 acres of water rimmed by 2.9 miles of bank. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.5) — enough points and pockets to pattern. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 83% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Call it 0.9 mi long by 0.6 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Algoma District. The nearest mapped water is Middle Pancake Lake, 1 mi to the southwest.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 7 to 22 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 19 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 7 to 22 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (19 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (19 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
