91-acre lake in Timiskaming District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 43 ft. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Drawn out, this is 91 acres of water rimmed by 2.7 miles of bank. Index 2 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. Roughly 49% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 1 mi, about 0.3 mi across. You'll find it in Timiskaming District. For a second option, Dane L. 18 lies 2 mi west.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake trout in 10 to 40 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 13 to 43 ft before dropping to 11 to 43 ft for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 37 ft of water that rates prime for lake trout in summer. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 13 to 43 ft | dawn | Deep basin (37 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 9 to 43 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 11 to 43 ft | dawn | Deep basin (37 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
