204-acre lake in Sudbury District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 53 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1984 (a transect sounding survey). Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The drawn water covers 205 acres wrapped in 6.1 miles of bank. A development index of 3 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. 77% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 2.5 mi long by 0.4 mi wide at the broadest reach. Sudbury District claims this one. If the bite dies, Doubtful Lake is 4 mi to the west.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. Summer is a 10 to 30 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 17 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (17 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (17 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Early season lake trout use the shallows, holding in 10 to 40 ft. Summer is a 16 to 53 ft game here, winter a 13 to 53 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 51 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (17 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |

| Winter | 13 to 53 ft | dawn | Deep basin (51 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 15 to 45 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 16 to 53 ft; cold water stacks them in 16 to 53 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 51 ft, rated prime for summer lake whitefish. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 15 to 45 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (17 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 16 to 53 ft | dawn | Deep basin (51 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dusk | Break off the point (17 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 16 to 53 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (51 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Spring puts yellow perch in skinny water — 3 to 12 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 30 ft, wintering in 15 to 35 ft. Spring yellow perch concentrate at Back-bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 4 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (4 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
