27-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 30 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 2019 (a transect sounding survey). Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Drawn out, this is 27 acres of water rimmed by 1.8 miles of bank, with a single island in the mix. The 2.5 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. About 62% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 0.5 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. You'll find it in Algoma District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Loon Lake, 1 mi southwest of here.
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: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 29 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 (12 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (29 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
