Fishing Ponsford Lake: what the data says

165-acre lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 7 ft. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. The exact depth survey is published on its own because no defensible water-specific species roster was found.

On the chart, Ponsford Lake draws 166 acres inside 2.3 miles of shoreline — one island included. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. End to end it runs roughly 0.8 mi, about 0.5 mi across. The water lies in Kenora District. For a second option, Unnamed Lake lies 1 mi south.
