22-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 40 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 2008 (a transect sounding survey). The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Drawn out, this is 22 acres of water rimmed by 1.1 miles of bank. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.7) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Roughly 38% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 0.4 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in Algoma District. The nearest mapped water is Wilson Lake, 1 mi to the west.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. Secondary point is the standout, a point at roughly 5 ft, rated prime for spring brook trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
