85-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 39 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1984 (a transect sounding survey). The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Drawn out, this is 85 acres of water rimmed by 2.1 miles of bank, with a single island in the mix. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.7) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 48% of this chart. Call it 0.6 mi long by 0.5 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Algoma District. The nearest mapped water is Duck Lake, 1 mi to the south.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 14 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
