Rating depth structure for lake trout.

279-acre lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 40 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The outline encloses 279 acres, worked by 7.1 miles of shoreline. A development index of 3 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. Roughly 72% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 2.1 mi, about 0.8 mi across. It sits in Kenora District. If the bite dies, Uphill Lake is 2 mi to the north.
Come spring, look for lake trout tight to the bank in 10 to 40 ft. Through summer count on 12 to 40 ft; the winter hold is 10 to 40 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 34 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger is the honest summer answer here.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (10 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 12 to 40 ft chart-limited; documented 50 to 120 ft | dawn | Deep basin (34 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 8 to 40 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (10 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 10 to 40 ft chart-limited; documented 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Deep basin (34 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Count 6 structure marks on this chart. The deepest, Deep basin, sits near 34 ft.
