Fishing Lower Ritchie Lake: what the data says

167-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 36 ft. The depth data here comes from an MNRF lake survey by the Ontario MNRF. The exact depth survey is published on its own because no defensible water-specific species roster was found.

The outline encloses 167 acres, worked by 4.8 miles of shoreline, with 5 islands in the mix. With a shoreline index of 2.7, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. 79% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. End to end it runs roughly 1.2 mi, about 0.5 mi across. It sits in Algoma District. If the bite dies, Monestime Lake 26 is 1 mi to the east.
