190-acre lake in Ontario. The lake tops out around 49 ft. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The drawn water covers 198 acres wrapped in 7.5 miles of bank, with a single island in the mix. An index of 3.8 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 70% of this chart, as modeled. End to end it runs roughly 1.3 mi, about 0.7 mi across. Greater Sudbury / Grand Sudbury claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Cache Lake, is 3 mi to the east.
Early season lake trout use the shallows, holding in 10 to 40 ft. Summer is a 15 to 49 ft game here, winter a 12 to 49 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 42 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 | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (12 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 15 to 49 ft | dawn | Deep basin (42 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 49 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (12 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 12 to 49 ft | dawn | Deep basin (42 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Spring puts cisco (lake herring) in skinny water — 10 to 40 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 15 to 49 ft; cold water stacks them in 15 to 49 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 42 ft, rated prime for summer cisco (lake herring). Plan around early morning in the warm months. A vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (42 ft) | Small silver spoon, Tiny swim jig (white) |
| Summer | 15 to 49 ft | dawn | Deep basin (42 ft) | Vertical flutter spoon (small), Drop-shot micro plastic |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (22 ft) | Small casting spoon, Inline spinner (silver) |
| Winter | 15 to 49 ft | dawn | Deep basin (42 ft) | Small jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + minnow head |
Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 42 ft.
