6-acre lake in Sudbury District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 14 ft. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 5 acres wrapped in 0.4 miles of bank. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.3) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. Sudbury District claims this one. If the bite dies, Wakami Lake is 3 mi to the north.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 14 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 4 to 14 ft, winter 2 to 14 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 12 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 14 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 4 to 14 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (12 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 14 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 2 to 14 ft | dawn | Deep basin (12 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
