26-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 53 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1983 (a transect sounding survey). The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The drawn water covers 26 acres wrapped in 1.3 miles of bank — 2 islands included. With a 1.9 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. About 28% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The basin spans about 0.4 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. It sits in Algoma District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Izaak Lake, is 0 mi to the southwest.
Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 10 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 3 to 20 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 20 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (20 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (20 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
