19-acre lake near Weyakwin. The lake tops out around 53 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Traced from the shoreline, Junction Lake runs 19 acres with 0.7 miles of edge. At index 1.1 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. 15% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. You'll find it in Division No. 18. The nearest mapped water is Bigstone Lake, 20 mi to the north.
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 24 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 (13 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (24 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (24 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring brown trout on Junction Lake hold shallow, usually 3 to 25 ft. By summer they slide out to 16 to 53 ft, and by winter most fish are in 5 to 35 ft. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 24 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in after dark and early morning. The summer box starts with a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night).
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Summer | 16 to 53 ft | night & dawn | Break off the point (24 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Fall | 5 to 30 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 5 to 35 ft | dawn | Break off the point (24 ft) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Structure-wise the chart holds 3 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 45 ft.
