743-acre lake in Sudbury District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 20 ft. The depth chart comes from Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1962, a decades-old survey (an MNRF lake survey). Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
On the chart, Renée Lake draws 748 acres inside 12.3 miles of shoreline, with a single island in the mix. With a shoreline index of 3.2, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. Tip to tip the water measures near 1.9 mi with a 1.7-mi widest point. The water lies in Sudbury District. The nearest mapped water is Harold Lake, 6 mi to the northeast.
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 6 to 20 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 15 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
