128-acre lake in Sudbury District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 78 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 1970, a decades-old survey (an MNRF lake survey). Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
The outline encloses 130 acres, worked by 4.3 miles of shoreline — one island included. With a shoreline index of 2.7, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. Roughly 76% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 1 mi end to end and 0.6 mi across at its widest. Sudbury District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Sladen Lake 40, is 1 mi to the north.
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 5 to 20 ft. They move out to 8 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 8 to 40 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 20 ft that scores prime in winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (20 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (20 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (20 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (20 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
6 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 60 ft, is the deepest of them.
