Rating depth structure for burbot.
Shared by DepthScout anglers. Exact spots stay private, always.
161-acre lake in Sudbury District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 26 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The outline encloses 160 acres, worked by 3.6 miles of shoreline. With a 2 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. Roughly 75% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 0.8 mi end to end and 0.7 mi across at its widest. Sudbury District claims this one. If the bite dies, Isbister Lake is 1 mi to the south.
Come spring, look for burbot tight to the bank in 8 to 26 ft. Through summer count on 8 to 26 ft; the winter hold is 7 to 26 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 22 ft that scores prime in spring. Best bite is after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 8 to 26 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (22 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 8 to 26 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (22 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 8 to 26 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (22 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 7 to 26 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (22 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
