4,458-acre lake near Wollaston Lake. The lake tops out around 13 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
The drawn water covers 4,448 acres wrapped in 55.5 miles of bank, broken up by 17 islands. The 5.9 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. All of it is shallow-zone water — under ~15 ft across the entire basin, so the food chain has the run of the place. Figure 5.4 mi of water from one end to the other, 5.1 mi at the beam. Division No. 18 claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Mcmahon Lake, is 4 mi to the east.
Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 4 to 13 ft. Even in summer they hold at 4 to 13 ft; winter keeps them in 3 to 13 ft. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 11 ft, prime for spring. Best bite is after dark and midday. Tie on a heavy jig + cut bait and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 13 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (11 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 4 to 13 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (11 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 4 to 13 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (11 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 3 to 13 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (11 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Early season lake trout use the shallows, holding in 3 to 13 ft. Even in summer they hold at 4 to 13 ft; winter keeps them in 3 to 13 ft. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 11 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 13 ft | dawn & dusk | Gravel shoal (2 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 4 to 13 ft | dawn | Deep basin (11 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 3 to 13 ft | dusk & dawn | Gravel shoal (2 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 3 to 13 ft | dawn | Deep basin (11 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 4 to 13 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 4 to 13 ft, and winter fish hold in 4 to 13 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 11 ft, rated prime for summer lake whitefish. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 13 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (6 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 4 to 13 ft | dawn | Deep basin (11 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 3 to 13 ft | dusk | Gravel shoal (2 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 4 to 13 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (11 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Spring northern pike on Henday Lake hold shallow, usually 2 to 8 ft. By summer they slide out to 4 to 13 ft, and by winter most fish are in 4 to 13 ft. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 3 ft, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 4 to 13 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (6 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 4 to 13 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (6 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 4 to 13 ft | midday | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Start shallow in spring: walleye sit in 3 to 13 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 4 to 13 ft covers summer, 4 to 13 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 6 ft of water that rates prime for walleye in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. Throw a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 13 ft | dusk & dawn | Gravel shoal (2 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |
| Summer | 4 to 13 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (6 ft) | Crawler harness on bottom bouncer, Deep crankbait (trolled) |
| Fall | 4 to 13 ft | dusk & night | Break off the point (6 ft) | Jigging rap, Jig + big minnow |
| Winter | 4 to 13 ft | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (11 ft) | Jigging spoon + minnow head, Rattle bait |
