98-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 105 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1987 (a transect sounding survey). Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The outline encloses 98 acres, worked by 2.9 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (2.1) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Roughly 16% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.7 mi with a 0.5-mi widest point. Algoma District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Jellybean L., is 0 mi to the east.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 26 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
