223-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 66 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1978, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
On the chart, Lillybet Lake draws 224 acres inside 4.4 miles of shoreline — one island included. Index 2.1 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. About 28% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The basin spans about 1.3 mi end to end and 0.6 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in Algoma District. For a second option, Lost Eye Lake lies 1 mi northwest.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 30 ft, wintering in 3 to 20 ft. Top water on the chart: Main-lake point, a point in the 8 ft range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
| 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 | open water | 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 | Shallow bay flat (4 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake trout in 10 to 40 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 20 to 66 ft before dropping to 17 to 66 ft for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 66 ft of water that rates prime for lake trout in summer. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (13 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
