114-acre lake in Sudbury District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 65 ft. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Drawn out, this is 115 acres of water rimmed by 2.9 miles of bank — 2 islands included. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.9) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 44% of this chart. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.9 mi with a 0.4-mi widest point. You'll find it in Sudbury District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Lance Lake, 2 mi southwest of here.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. Main-lake point is the standout, a point at roughly 5 ft, rated prime for spring brook trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |

Spring puts lake trout in skinny water — 10 to 40 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 20 to 65 ft; cold water stacks them in 16 to 65 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 65 ft, rated prime for summer lake trout. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger covers the summer program.
