39-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 16 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
On the chart, Gunterman L. 8 draws 40 acres inside 2.1 miles of shoreline. An index of 2.4 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 97% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.6 mi with a 0.3-mi widest point. You'll find it in Algoma District. For a second option, Gunterman L. 19 lies 1 mi southwest.
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 5 to 16 ft, and winter fish settle into 2 to 16 ft. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 14 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. 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.
