218-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 140 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1970, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Samreid Lake runs 219 acres with 7 miles of edge, with 2 islands in the mix. A development index of 3.4 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. About 22% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 1.2 mi long by 1.1 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Algoma District. For a second option, Fleming L. lies 1 mi south.
Spring puts lake trout in skinny water — 10 to 40 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 50 to 120 ft; cold water stacks them in 20 to 80 ft. Secondary point is the standout, a point at roughly 16 ft, rated prime for spring lake trout. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (16 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 50 to 120 ft | dawn | Deep basin (135 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (16 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Break off the point (17 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
