10-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 28 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
On the chart, Rowat L. 15 draws 10 acres inside 0.7 miles of shoreline. Index 1.6 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. Roughly 66% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi. The water lies in Algoma District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Rowat L. 18, 1 mi southeast of here.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 28 ft before dropping to 3 to 20 ft for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 24 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
