60-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 84 ft. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The drawn water covers 61 acres wrapped in 1.7 miles of bank. With a 1.6 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. 48% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. End to end it runs roughly 0.5 mi, about 0.3 mi across. Algoma District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Whitefish Lake, is 1 mi to the east.
When the water first warms, splake slide up into 5 to 25 ft. Summer is a 25 to 60 ft game here, winter a 10 to 45 ft one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 38 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (21 ft) | Small casting spoon (gold/orange), Inline spinner |
| Summer | 25 to 60 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (38 ft) | Trolled spoon at the thermocline, White tube jig (deep) |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (21 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait |
| Winter | 10 to 45 ft | dawn | Break off the point (38 ft) | Jigging spoon tipped with minnow head, Small white tube |
