145-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 20 ft. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Bone Lake maps at 146 acres behind 4.7 miles of shoreline. A development index of 2.8 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. About 84% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 1.1 mi long by 0.8 mi wide at the broadest reach. Algoma District claims this one. If the bite dies, Burnt Lake is 1 mi to the northeast.
Spring northern pike on Bone Lake hold shallow, usually 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. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 2 ft, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
