29-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 57 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The outline encloses 28 acres, worked by 1.5 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (2) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Roughly 39% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Figure 0.4 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. It sits in Algoma District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Northland L., is 1 mi to the southwest.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 26 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (14 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (26 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (14 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (26 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
