Rating depth structure for lake trout.

10-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 43 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
The outline encloses 10 acres, worked by 0.6 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.4) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 24% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. It sits in Algoma District. Callinan Lake sits 0 mi east — the closest neighbouring chart.
Come spring, look for lake trout tight to the bank in 10 to 40 ft. Expect a summer slide to 13 to 43 ft, then a winter hold in 11 to 43 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 37 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger is the honest summer answer here.
| 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 |
Count 3 structure marks on this chart. The deepest, Deep basin, sits near 37 ft.
