Rating depth structure for lake trout.

18-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 64 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 2012 (a transect sounding survey). What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Lost Canoe Lake runs 18 acres with 0.9 miles of edge. Index 1.6 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. Roughly 40% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi, about 0.2 mi across. You'll find it in Algoma District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Hook L., 1 mi east of here.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake trout in 10 to 40 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 19 to 64 ft before dropping to 16 to 64 ft for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 59 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 | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 19 to 64 ft | dawn | Deep basin (59 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 16 to 64 ft | dawn | Deep basin (59 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
