411-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 263 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1978, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Drawn out, this is 413 acres of water rimmed by 7.6 miles of bank — one island included. The 2.7 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. Roughly 5% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Call it 2.4 mi long by 0.6 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Algoma District. The nearest mapped water is Teasdale Lake, 1 mi to the north.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake trout in 10 to 40 ft. As the season builds they drop to 50 to 120 ft, wintering in 20 to 80 ft. Top water on the chart: Main-lake point, a point in the 13 ft range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 50 to 120 ft | dawn | Break off the point (121 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Deep basin (261 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
6 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 261 ft, is the deepest of them.
