223-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 202 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1975, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
On the chart, Cobre Lake draws 224 acres inside 2.6 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.2), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. 3% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Tip to tip the water measures near 1 mi with a 0.6-mi widest point. You'll find it in Algoma District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Bhymine Lake, 1 mi south of here.
In spring, lake trout run shallow here, mostly 10 to 40 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 50 to 120 ft before dropping to 20 to 80 ft for winter. Spring lake trout concentrate at Main-lake point, a prime-rated point around 18 ft. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger most summer days.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (18 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |

Spring rock bass on Cobre Lake hold shallow, usually 2 to 10 ft. They move out to 5 to 20 ft in summer and finish the year down in 12 to 30 ft. Put Main-lake point first on the milk run — a point near 18 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run the evening. The summer box starts with a ned rig (small) or a marabou jig.
