484-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 90 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1966, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
On the chart, Conacher Lake draws 487 acres inside 10.9 miles of shoreline — 7 islands included. A development index of 3.5 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. Roughly 29% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 3.2 mi, about 1.1 mi across. You'll find it in Algoma District. For a second option, Topsy Lake lies 2 mi southwest.
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 15 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (4 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (15 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (4 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (15 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Start shallow in spring: lake trout sit in 10 to 40 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 27 to 90 ft; cold water stacks them in 20 to 80 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 89 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (16 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 27 to 90 ft | dawn | Deep basin (89 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (16 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Deep basin (89 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
