Fishing McVicar Lake: what the data says

3,051-acre lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 66 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1987 (a transect sounding survey). The exact depth survey is published on its own because no defensible water-specific species roster was found.

On the chart, McVicar Lake draws 3,065 acres inside 47.4 miles of shoreline, broken up by 27 islands. A development index of 6.1 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. Roughly 68% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 6 mi end to end and 3.1 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Kenora District. For a second option, Lang Lake lies 3 mi northwest.
