58-acre lake in Sudbury District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 112 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Drawn out, this is 58 acres of water rimmed by 1.4 miles of bank. Its 1.3 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Roughly 24% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.6 mi with a 0.3-mi widest point. The water lies in Sudbury District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Parting Lake, 1 mi northeast of here.
Spring puts splake in skinny water — 5 to 25 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 25 to 60 ft, wintering in 10 to 45 ft. Summer splake concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 50 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (28 ft) | Small casting spoon (gold/orange), Inline spinner |
| Summer | 25 to 60 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (50 ft) | Trolled spoon at the thermocline, White tube jig (deep) |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (28 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait |
| Winter | 10 to 45 ft | dawn | Break off the point (50 ft) | Jigging spoon tipped with minnow head, Small white tube |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 2 to 8 ft. As the season builds they drop to 8 to 20 ft, wintering in 5 to 15 ft. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 6 ft range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
