27-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 26 ft. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The outline encloses 27 acres, worked by 1.5 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (2) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. 66% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 0.5 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. Algoma District claims this one. If the bite dies, First Lake is 0 mi to the northeast.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. Summer is an 8 to 26 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 26 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
| 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 | 8 to 26 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (26 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 (20 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring puts rock bass in skinny water — 2 to 10 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 5 to 20 ft; cold water stacks them in 8 to 26 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 20 ft, rated prime for fall rock bass. Plan around the evening in the warm months. A ned rig (small) or a marabou jig covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (1 ft) | 1/16 oz jig + grub, Small inline spinner |
| Summer | 5 to 20 ft | dusk | Break off the point (20 ft) | Ned rig (small), Marabou jig |
| Fall | 8 to 22 ft | midday | Break off the point (20 ft) | Small tube jig, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 8 to 26 ft | midday | Deep basin (26 ft) | Tungsten jig + plastic, Small spoon + spike |
