109-acre lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 43 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1991 (a transect sounding survey). Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The outline encloses 110 acres, worked by 2 miles of shoreline. Its 1.3 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. About 46% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The basin spans about 0.7 mi end to end and 0.4 mi across at its widest. Kenora District claims this one. Crook Lake sits 1 mi north — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring brook trout on South Crook Lake hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 30 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
