467-acre lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 80 ft. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Cedarbough Lake maps at 469 acres behind 7.5 miles of shoreline — one island included. An index of 2.5 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. Roughly 51% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 2.6 mi, about 0.7 mi across. It sits in Kenora District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Little Vermilion Lake, is 2 mi to the northeast.
When the water first warms, lake trout slide up into 10 to 40 ft. By summer they slide out to 24 to 80 ft, and by winter most fish are in 20 to 80 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 80 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger rigged through the warm months.

| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 24 to 80 ft | dawn | Deep basin (80 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
