Fishing Butler Lake: what the data says

2,781-acre lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 46 ft. The depth data here comes from an MNRF lake survey by the Ontario MNRF. The exact depth survey is published on its own because no defensible water-specific species roster was found.

The outline encloses 2,793 acres, worked by 48.4 miles of shoreline, broken up by 28 islands. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 6.5) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. Roughly 60% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 3.9 mi with a 3.7-mi widest point. Kenora District claims this one. If the bite dies, Olsen Lake is 2 mi to the southeast.
