57-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 26 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1978, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The drawn water covers 58 acres wrapped in 1.6 miles of bank, broken up by an island. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 73% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 0.5 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. Algoma District claims this one. If the bite dies, Weashkog L. is 1 mi to the southwest.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 8 to 26 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 25 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 26 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (25 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (15 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
