93-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 90 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1966, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
On the chart, Square Lake draws 93 acres inside 1.9 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.4 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 11% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 0.7 mi end to end and 0.4 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in Algoma District. For a second option, Red L. lies 1 mi northeast.
Spring walleye on Square Lake hold shallow, usually 4 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 15 to 35 ft, and by winter most fish are in 20 to 40 ft. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 36 ft, prime for fall. Prime time lands in the evening and early morning. The summer box starts with a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled).

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (14 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |
