49-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 69 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
On the chart, Nestor Lake draws 49 acres inside 1.2 miles of shoreline. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Roughly 21% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.4 mi with a 0.3-mi widest point. The water lies in Algoma District. For a second option, Weckstrom Lake lies 4 mi southwest.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 30 ft before dropping to 3 to 20 ft for winter. Summer brook trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 31 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
