75-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 56 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 2021 (an MNRF lake survey). Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
On the chart, Kaufman Lake draws 76 acres inside 1.8 miles of shoreline, broken up by an island. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 22% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Figure 0.6 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. The water lies in Algoma District. For a second option, Jarvis L. 9 lies 1 mi east.
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 22 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
