Rating depth structure for lake trout.

250-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 112 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
On the chart, Maconner Lake draws 250 acres inside 7.4 miles of shoreline, broken up by an island. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 3.3) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. About 48% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The basin spans about 1.4 mi end to end and 1 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in Algoma District. For a second option, Bukwaskeagog Lake lies 4 mi southwest.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake trout in 10 to 40 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 34 to 112 ft before dropping to 20 to 80 ft for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 95 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 (28 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 34 to 112 ft | dawn | Deep basin (95 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (28 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Break off the point (50 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Maconner Lake carries 6 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 95 ft down.
