228-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 161 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1978, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Molybdenite Lake maps at 229 acres behind 9.3 miles of shoreline, with 6 islands in the mix. With a shoreline index of 4.4, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. 47% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Figure 1.7 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.7 mi at the beam. Algoma District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Wawa Lake (lac Wawa), is 11 mi to the east.
When the water first warms, lake trout slide up into 10 to 40 ft. Summer is a 50 to 120 ft game here, winter a 20 to 80 ft one. Start at Main-lake point. It's a point holding about 15 ft of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (15 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
