Rating depth structure for lake trout.

58-acre lake in Ontario. The lake tops out around 112 ft. The depth chart comes from Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1980 (an MNRF lake survey). Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Soul L. maps at 57 acres behind 1.5 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.4) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. About 39% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The basin spans about 0.5 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. It sits in Greater Sudbury / Grand Sudbury. Mosquito Lake sits 3 mi west — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring lake trout on Soul L. hold shallow, usually 10 to 40 ft. By summer they slide out to 34 to 112 ft, and by winter most fish are in 20 to 80 ft. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 100 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 34 to 112 ft | dawn | Deep basin (100 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Break off the point (63 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
The chart marks 4 structure features on Soul L.; the deepest is Deep basin at about 100 ft.
