256-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 43 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 2025 (an MNRF lake survey). Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
On the chart, Huff Lake draws 258 acres inside 5.5 miles of shoreline. A development index of 2.4 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. About 26% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Tip to tip the water measures near 1.6 mi with a 0.7-mi widest point. You'll find it in Algoma District. The nearest mapped water is Smilsky Lake 11, 2 mi to the northeast.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 30 ft, wintering in 3 to 20 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 27 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (27 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
