64-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 100 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1974, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Daisy Mae Lake maps at 65 acres behind 1.5 miles of shoreline. At index 1.4 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. 7% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. The basin spans about 0.6 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. It sits in Algoma District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Shelden Lake, is 2 mi to the northeast.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Secondary point: a point around 16 ft that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (16 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Secondary point (16 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Shallow bay flat (15 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring smallmouth bass on Daisy Mae Lake hold shallow, usually 3 to 12 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 20 to 45 ft.
