564-acre lake in Timiskaming District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 42 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 1968, a decades-old survey (an MNRF lake survey). The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The drawn water covers 565 acres wrapped in 6.4 miles of bank. With a 1.9 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. Roughly 94% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 1.5 mi, about 1 mi across. It sits in Timiskaming District. Kittson Lake sits 2 mi northwest — the closest neighbouring chart.
When the water first warms, lake trout slide up into 10 to 40 ft. By summer they slide out to 13 to 42 ft, and by winter most fish are in 11 to 42 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 30 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger rigged through the warm months.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (10 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 13 to 42 ft chart-limited; documented 50 to 120 ft | dawn | Deep basin (30 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 8 to 42 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (10 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 11 to 42 ft chart-limited; documented 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Deep basin (30 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |

Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 30 ft of water that rates prime for lake trout in summer. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
For lake trout, the summer bite is best in early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
