Rating depth structure for lake trout.

598-acre lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 220 ft. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Traced from the shoreline, Riverview Lake runs 600 acres with 11.6 miles of edge, with 2 islands in the mix. A development index of 3.4 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 28% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. End to end it runs roughly 3.6 mi, about 0.7 mi across. You'll find it in Kenora District. For a second option, Norway Lake lies 3 mi east.
In spring, lake trout run shallow here, mostly 10 to 40 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 50 to 120 ft before dropping to 20 to 80 ft for winter. Summer lake trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 99 ft. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 50 to 120 ft | dawn | Break off the point (99 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (55 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Break off the point (99 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
