147-acre lake in Nipissing District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 45 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
On the chart, Godda Lake draws 147 acres inside 2.9 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.7) — enough points and pockets to pattern. 25% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. Figure 1 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.4 mi at the beam. You'll find it in Nipissing District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Mole Lake, 1 mi southeast of here.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 30 ft, wintering in 3 to 20 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 20 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (20 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (20 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
In spring, lake trout run shallow here, mostly 10 to 40 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 14 to 45 ft before dropping to 11 to 45 ft for winter. Summer lake trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 38 ft. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 14 to 45 ft | dawn | Deep basin (38 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 9 to 45 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 11 to 45 ft | dawn | Deep basin (38 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
