1,243-acre lake in Thunder Bay District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 120 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 season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The drawn water covers 1,262 acres wrapped in 31.1 miles of bank — 8 islands included. With a shoreline index of 6.2, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. 73% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. Figure 6.1 mi of water from one end to the other, 1.5 mi at the beam. It sits in Thunder Bay District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Baldwin Lake, is 3 mi to the north.
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 2 to 8 ft. Summer is an 8 to 20 ft game here, winter a 5 to 15 ft one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 6 ft of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.
