55-acre lake in Sudbury District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 76 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
On the chart, Lee L. draws 55 acres inside 2 miles of shoreline. Index 2 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. 43% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. Figure 0.7 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. You'll find it in Sudbury District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Shenango Lake, 2 mi south of here.
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 6 ft of water that rates good for brook trout in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (34 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (19 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Start shallow in spring: lake trout sit in 10 to 40 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 23 to 76 ft; cold water stacks them in 19 to 76 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 65 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (19 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 23 to 76 ft | dawn | Deep basin (65 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (19 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 19 to 76 ft | dawn | Deep basin (65 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: splake in 5 to 25 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 25 to 60 ft before dropping to 10 to 45 ft for winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 34 ft of water that rates prime for splake in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (19 ft) | Small casting spoon (gold/orange), Inline spinner |
| Summer | 25 to 60 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (34 ft) | Trolled spoon at the thermocline, White tube jig (deep) |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (19 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait |
| Winter | 10 to 45 ft | dawn | Break off the point (34 ft) | Jigging spoon tipped with minnow head, Small white tube |
