60-acre lake in Sudbury District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 115 ft. The depth chart comes from Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1981 (an MNRF lake survey). Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Drawn out, this is 60 acres of water rimmed by 1.8 miles of bank. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.6) — enough points and pockets to pattern. 46% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.6 mi with a 0.3-mi widest point. The water lies in Sudbury District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Little Prune Lake, 1 mi west of here.
Spring puts lake trout in skinny water — 10 to 40 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 35 to 115 ft, wintering in 20 to 80 ft. Summer lake trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 90 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (20 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 35 to 115 ft | dawn | Deep basin (90 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (20 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Break off the point (20 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 90 ft.
