60-acre lake in Ontario. The lake tops out around 100 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Morgan L. 42 maps at 60 acres behind 2.2 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (2) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Roughly 36% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.8 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. Greater Sudbury / Grand Sudbury claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Caya's Lake, is 2 mi to the northwest.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. Summer is a 10 to 30 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 6 ft of water and rates good come spring. The feeding windows run 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 | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Morgan L. 42 carries 6 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 85 ft down.
