1,189-acre lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 98 ft. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake trout in 10 to 40 ft. As the season builds they drop to 29 to 98 ft, wintering in 20 to 80 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 98 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger gets it done.
