58-acre lake in Sudbury District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 80 ft. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
The outline encloses 59 acres, worked by 1.5 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 10% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Figure 0.6 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. It sits in Sudbury District. If the bite dies, Acid Lake is 1 mi to the northwest.
Early season lake trout use the shallows, holding in 10 to 40 ft. Expect a summer slide to 24 to 80 ft, then a winter hold in 20 to 80 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 80 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (25 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 24 to 80 ft | dawn | Deep basin (80 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (42 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Deep basin (80 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
