52-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 59 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 2022 (an MNRF lake survey). The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Drawn out, this is 52 acres of water rimmed by 1.7 miles of bank. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.7) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 37% of this chart. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.4 mi with a 0.4-mi widest point. You'll find it in Algoma District. For a second option, Buck Lake lies 5 mi east.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 30 ft, wintering in 3 to 20 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 22 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
