13-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 42 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 2003 (a transect sounding survey). What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Benspreng Lake maps at 13 acres behind 0.9 miles of shoreline. With a 1.8 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. About 62% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.4 mi. Algoma District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Great Scott Lake, is 0 mi to the southeast.
Spring brook trout on Benspreng Lake hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. Put Main-lake point first on the milk run — a point near 13 ft that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (34 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
