85-acre lake in Sudbury District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 79 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 2025 (an MNRF lake survey). Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Drawn out, this is 86 acres of water rimmed by 2.5 miles of bank. Index 1.9 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. 45% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 0.8 mi long by 0.4 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Sudbury District. The nearest mapped water is Simon L., 1 mi to the west.
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 27 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (27 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |

When the water first warms, lake whitefish slide up into 15 to 45 ft. Summer is a 24 to 79 ft game here, winter a 25 to 70 ft one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 75 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon rigged through the warm months.
