Fishing Chief Lake: what the data says

264-acre lake in Sudbury District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 115 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 2006 (an MNRF lake survey). The exact depth survey is published on its own because no defensible water-specific species roster was found.

Drawn out, this is 265 acres of water rimmed by 8 miles of bank, with 4 islands in the mix. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 3.5) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. Roughly 34% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 2.2 mi, about 0.9 mi across. You'll find it in Sudbury District. The nearest mapped water is Pine Lake, 1 mi to the northwest.
