41-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 60 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1977, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Goodlookin Lake runs 41 acres with 1.1 miles of edge. At index 1.2 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Roughly 21% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi, about 0.3 mi across. You'll find it in Algoma District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Bitstock Lake, 1 mi west of here.
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. The spot to know is Secondary point, a point in about 9 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |

| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Secondary point (9 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
