88-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 50 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1967, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Traced from the shoreline, Rockey Lake runs 88 acres with 2.6 miles of edge — 2 islands included. Index 2 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. 37% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 0.9 mi long by 0.3 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Algoma District. For a second option, Cashen Lake lies 1 mi northwest.
Start shallow in spring: lake trout sit in 10 to 40 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 15 to 50 ft; cold water stacks them in 13 to 50 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 50 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger until the fish tell you otherwise.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (30 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |

It's a drop-off holding about 30 ft of water and rates prime come winter. The feeding windows run the evening. Keep a ned rig (small) or a marabou jig rigged through the warm months.
