145-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 62 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The outline encloses 145 acres, worked by 3.3 miles of shoreline, broken up by an island. A middling shoreline index (1.9) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 38% of this chart, as modeled. The basin spans about 1 mi end to end and 0.5 mi across at its widest. It sits in Algoma District. Gervais L. 13 sits 1 mi west — the closest neighbouring chart.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 28 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
