47-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 80 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 2000 (a transect sounding survey). Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
On the chart, Cable Lake draws 48 acres inside 2 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 2.1) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Roughly 17% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Figure 0.7 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. You'll find it in Algoma District. The nearest mapped water is Leaping Fox Lake, 1 mi to the northwest.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a feeding flat at roughly 7 ft, rated good for spring brook trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
