51-acre lake in Sudbury District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 80 ft. The depth chart comes from Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1965, a decades-old survey (an MNRF lake survey). Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Traced from the shoreline, Garibaldi L. 6 runs 50 acres with 1.3 miles of edge. Its 1.3 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 44% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.4 mi with a 0.3-mi widest point. The water lies in Sudbury District. The nearest mapped water is Garibaldi L. 12, 1 mi to the west.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 30 ft before dropping to 3 to 20 ft for winter. Spring brook trout concentrate at Main-lake point, a prime-rated point around 1 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
