62-acre lake in Sudbury District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 30 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
On the chart, Crazy Lake draws 61 acres inside 2.5 miles of shoreline. A development index of 2.3 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. Roughly 67% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Figure 0.9 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. You'll find it in Sudbury District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Burton Lake, 2 mi west of here.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 2 to 8 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 20 ft before dropping to 5 to 15 ft for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 4 ft of water that rates prime for northern pike in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
