Fishing Gitche Lake: what the data says

3,170-acre lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 7 ft. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. The exact depth survey is published on its own because no defensible water-specific species roster was found.

Gitche Lake maps at 3,184 acres behind 30.5 miles of shoreline, with 34 islands in the mix. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 3.9) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. All of it is shallow-zone water — under ~15 ft across the entire basin, so the food chain has the run of the place. Figure 3.4 mi of water from one end to the other, 2.6 mi at the beam. It sits in Kenora District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Lang Lake, is 10 mi to the northeast.
