18-acre lake in Sudbury District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 43 ft. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The outline encloses 18 acres, worked by 1.1 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.8) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 30% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.3 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. Sudbury District claims this one. If the bite dies, Poleline Lake is 1 mi to the east.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. Summer is a 10 to 30 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 19 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (19 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
