65-acre lake in Thunder Bay District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 60 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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Traced from the shoreline, Loch Muich runs 65 acres with 1.9 miles of edge. Index 1.7 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 62% of this chart, as modeled. The basin spans about 0.8 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Thunder Bay District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Loch Erne, 1 mi northwest of here.
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 27 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
