49-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 66 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1984 (a transect sounding survey). Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The drawn water covers 49 acres wrapped in 1.5 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Roughly 23% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 0.5 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. Algoma District claims this one. Charette Lake sits 2 mi southeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 2 ft that scores good in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| 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 | Main-lake point (18 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Back-bay flat (8 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
