204-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 92 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1982 (a transect sounding survey). Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Drawn out, this is 205 acres of water rimmed by 5.5 miles of bank, with 3 islands in the mix. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 2.8) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. About 23% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. End to end it runs roughly 1.3 mi, about 0.7 mi across. You'll find it in Algoma District. The nearest mapped water is Pathfinder Lake, 1 mi to the north.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 22 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (16 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (22 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (16 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Shallow bay flat (19 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
