74-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 80 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1964, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The drawn water covers 74 acres wrapped in 2.2 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.8) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. About 23% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 0.7 mi long by 0.3 mi wide at the broadest reach. Algoma District claims this one. Carpenter Lake sits 1 mi northwest — the closest neighbouring chart.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Secondary point: a point around 13 ft that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (13 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 (13 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Fish Lake carries 6 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 80 ft down.
