47-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 85 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1998 (a transect sounding survey). Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Drawn out, this is 47 acres of water rimmed by 2.5 miles of bank. With a shoreline index of 2.6, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 24% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Figure 1 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. The water lies in Algoma District. For a second option, Roy Berry L. lies 1 mi northeast.
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 3 ft range, good in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. 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 |
