Fishing Frater Lake: what the data says

67-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 40 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.

The outline encloses 67 acres, worked by 3.9 miles of shoreline — one island included. With a shoreline index of 3.4, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 70% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 0.7 mi end to end and 0.4 mi across at its widest. Algoma District claims this one. If the bite dies, MacGregor Lake is 3 mi to the south.
