125-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 11 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Rock Candy Lake runs 125 acres with 2.8 miles of edge. Index 1.8 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. All of it is shallow-zone water — under ~15 ft across the entire basin, so the food chain has the run of the place. The basin spans about 0.8 mi end to end and 0.5 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in Algoma District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Mountain Ash Lake, 1 mi southwest of here.
In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 2 to 8 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 3 to 11 ft before dropping to 3 to 11 ft for winter. Spring northern pike concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 3 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
