34-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 50 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1965, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Jimmy Lake maps at 35 acres behind 1.2 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 13% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Call it 0.5 mi long by 0.3 mi wide at the broadest reach. It sits in Algoma District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Beilhartz Lake, is 1 mi to the east.
Early season splake use the shallows, holding in 5 to 25 ft. Expect a summer slide to 15 to 50 ft, then a winter hold in 10 to 45 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 40 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (18 ft) | Small casting spoon (gold/orange), Inline spinner |
| Summer | 15 to 50 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (40 ft) | Trolled spoon at the thermocline, White tube jig (deep) |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (18 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait |
| Winter | 10 to 45 ft | dawn | Break off the point (40 ft) | Jigging spoon tipped with minnow head, Small white tube |
