90-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 108 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1971, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
On the chart, Rackey Lake draws 91 acres inside 3.2 miles of shoreline, with a single island in the mix. The 2.4 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 25% of this chart. End to end it runs roughly 1 mi, about 0.4 mi across. The water lies in Algoma District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Rockey Lake, 1 mi north 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. Spring brook trout concentrate at Secondary point, a prime-rated point around 11 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.

Summer lake trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 102 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger covers the summer program.
