Fishing Dead Otter Lake: what the data says

60-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 30 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1976, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). The exact depth survey is published on its own because no defensible water-specific species roster was found.

Traced from the shoreline, Dead Otter Lake runs 60 acres with 3.6 miles of edge, broken up by an island. A development index of 3.3 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 74% of this chart. Call it 0.8 mi long by 0.5 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Algoma District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Gamitagama Lake, 2 mi northeast of here.
