103-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 45 ft. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Drawn out, this is 102 acres of water rimmed by 3.5 miles of bank. A development index of 2.5 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. About 74% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 1.2 mi long by 0.3 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Algoma District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Lower Mace Lake, 1 mi south of here.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 30 ft, wintering in 3 to 20 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 20 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (20 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (20 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
