328-acre lake in Sudbury District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 42 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The outline encloses 329 acres, worked by 4.9 miles of shoreline. With a 1.9 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. Roughly 45% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Figure 1.5 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.7 mi at the beam. Sudbury District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Edighoffer L. 757394, is 3 mi to the northeast.
Start shallow in spring: lake whitefish sit in 13 to 42 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 13 to 42 ft covers summer, 13 to 42 ft covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 36 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 13 to 42 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (19 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 13 to 42 ft | dawn | Deep basin (36 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dusk | Break off the point (19 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 13 to 42 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (36 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 2 to 8 ft. By summer they slide out to 8 to 20 ft, and by winter most fish are in 5 to 15 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 5 ft that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (19 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
