248-acre lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 33 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1987 (a transect sounding survey). The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The outline encloses 249 acres, worked by 3.3 miles of shoreline, broken up by an island. With a 1.5 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. About 40% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The basin spans about 1.2 mi end to end and 0.5 mi across at its widest. Kenora District claims this one. Shingwak Lake sits 1 mi northeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 2 to 8 ft. By summer they slide out to 8 to 20 ft, and by winter most fish are in 5 to 15 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 2 ft that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (17 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (17 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Secondary point (13 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
