150-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 72 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Drawn out, this is 150 acres of water rimmed by 4.9 miles of bank. The 2.9 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 60% of this chart, as modeled. Call it 1.2 mi long by 0.5 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Algoma District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Pine L. 35, 1 mi northeast of here.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 30 ft before dropping to 3 to 20 ft for winter. Summer brook trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 32 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (32 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
