263-acre lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 79 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1981 (a transect sounding survey). What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Drawn out, this is 264 acres of water rimmed by 6 miles of bank, broken up by 2 islands. An index of 2.6 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 25% of this chart. End to end it runs roughly 1.6 mi, about 0.6 mi across. The water lies in Kenora District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Balmain Lake, 1 mi northwest of here.
In spring, lake trout run shallow here, mostly 10 to 40 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 24 to 79 ft, and winter fish settle into 20 to 79 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 79 ft, rated prime for summer lake trout. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger most summer days.

The summer box starts with a vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic.

Keep a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm rigged through the warm months.
