70-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 40 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1969, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Gusty Lake maps at 70 acres behind 2.4 miles of shoreline — 3 islands included. A middling shoreline index (2.1) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Roughly 56% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 0.6 mi, about 0.5 mi across. It sits in Algoma District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Chub Lake (SSM 184 Lake), is 1 mi to the southwest.
Early season splake use the shallows, holding in 5 to 25 ft. Expect a summer slide to 12 to 40 ft, then a winter hold in 9 to 40 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 20 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) and you're in the game.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (12 ft) | Small casting spoon (gold/orange), Inline spinner |
| Summer | 12 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (20 ft) | Trolled spoon at the thermocline, White tube jig (deep) |
