22-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 42 ft. The depth chart comes from Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1963, 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.
Drawn out, this is 23 acres of water rimmed by 1.1 miles of bank. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.7) — enough points and pockets to pattern. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 85% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Call it 0.4 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Algoma District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Gashen Lake, 1 mi east of here.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 20 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
