Fishing McWade Lake: what the data says

675-acre lake in Thunder Bay District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 66 ft. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. The exact depth survey is published on its own because no defensible water-specific species roster was found.

Drawn out, this is 679 acres of water rimmed by 17.9 miles of bank, with 6 islands in the mix. A development index of 4.9 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. 54% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 5.4 mi long by 1.1 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Thunder Bay District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Granite Lake, 4 mi southwest of here.
