129-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 70 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1963, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Traced from the shoreline, Fullerton Lake runs 130 acres with 2.9 miles of edge. Index 1.8 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 28% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. End to end it runs roughly 1.1 mi, about 0.4 mi across. The water lies in Algoma District. For a second option, Hook L. lies 1 mi southwest.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake trout in 10 to 40 ft. As the season builds they drop to 21 to 70 ft, wintering in 18 to 70 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 65 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger gets it done.
