200-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 60 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1971, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Drawn out, this is 201 acres of water rimmed by 8.6 miles of bank, with 14 islands in the mix. With a shoreline index of 4.3, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. 46% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Figure 1.5 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.7 mi at the beam. The water lies in Algoma District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Spruce Lake, 2 mi east of here.
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 25 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.

Spring puts lake trout in skinny water — 10 to 40 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 18 to 60 ft, wintering in 15 to 60 ft. Summer lake trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 60 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger covers the summer program.
