325-acre lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 34 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The outline encloses 324 acres, worked by 7.1 miles of shoreline — one island included. With a shoreline index of 2.8, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 66% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 2.4 mi end to end and 0.6 mi across at its widest. Kenora District claims this one. If the bite dies, Game Lake is 2 mi to the northwest.
In spring, lake whitefish run shallow here, mostly 10 to 34 ft. Summer keeps them at 10 to 34 ft, and they winter in 10 to 34 ft. Summer lake whitefish concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 29 ft. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon most summer days.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 34 ft chart-limited; documented 15 to 45 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (15 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 10 to 34 ft chart-limited; documented 40 to 90 ft | dawn | Deep basin (29 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dusk | Break off the point (15 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 10 to 34 ft chart-limited; documented 25 to 70 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (29 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
In spring, yellow perch run shallow here, mostly 3 to 12 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 10 to 34 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 4 ft, rated prime for spring yellow perch. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm most summer days.

| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (4 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Deep basin (29 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Fall | 10 to 34 ft chart-limited; documented 12 to 35 ft | midday | Deep basin (29 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
| Winter | 10 to 34 ft chart-limited; documented 15 to 35 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (29 ft) | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 2 to 8 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 20 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 15 ft. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 4 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (4 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (15 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (15 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Shallow bay flat (4 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
