19-acre lake in Nipissing District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 84 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1990 (a transect sounding survey). Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Salvelinus Lake maps at 19 acres behind 0.8 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.3) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 23% of this chart. Call it 0.3 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. It sits in Nipissing District. If the bite dies, Casey Lake is 1 mi to the northeast.
Spring brook trout on Salvelinus Lake hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 20 ft. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 25 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
