777-acre lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 120 ft. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
On the chart, Scattergood Lake draws 781 acres inside 16.5 miles of shoreline, with 10 islands in the mix. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 4.2) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. About 40% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The basin spans about 3.7 mi end to end and 1.2 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Kenora District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Moose Lake, 3 mi northwest of here.
Start shallow in spring: lake trout sit in 10 to 40 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 50 to 120 ft, and winter fish settle into 20 to 80 ft. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 115 ft of water that rates prime for lake trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Summer | 50 to 120 ft | dawn | Deep basin (115 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
