80-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 60 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 2009 (a transect sounding survey). The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Drawn out, this is 80 acres of water rimmed by 4 miles of bank, with 4 islands in the mix. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 3.2) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. 32% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Tip to tip the water measures near 1.3 mi with a 0.3-mi widest point. You'll find it in Algoma District. The nearest mapped water is Indigo L., 0 mi to the north.
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 19 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.

|---|---|---|---|---|
