146-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 66 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1985 (a transect sounding survey). Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Fox L. maps at 146 acres behind 4.4 miles of shoreline, broken up by 3 islands. The 2.6 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. 43% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. End to end it runs roughly 0.9 mi, about 0.7 mi across. It sits in Algoma District. Oval Lake sits 4 mi southeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
When the water first warms, lake trout slide up into 10 to 40 ft. By summer they slide out to 20 to 66 ft, and by winter most fish are in 17 to 66 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 66 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (26 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 20 to 66 ft | dawn | Deep basin (66 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (26 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 17 to 66 ft | dawn | Deep basin (66 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 66 ft.
