81-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 16 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
On the chart, Negick Lake draws 81 acres inside 2.5 miles of shoreline. Index 2 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. About 95% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 0.9 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.5 mi at the beam. You'll find it in Algoma District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Bow Lake, 2 mi west of here.
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 2 to 8 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 5 to 16 ft; cold water stacks them in 5 to 15 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 3 ft, rated prime for spring northern pike. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 5 to 16 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (7 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 5 to 16 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (7 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
