276-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). What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Drawn out, this is 278 acres of water rimmed by 6 miles of bank, broken up by 7 islands. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 2.6) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. Roughly 53% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Figure 1.4 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.9 mi at the beam. The water lies in Algoma District. The nearest mapped water is Little Saddle Lake, 2 mi to the west.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 18 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (18 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (18 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
