31-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 20 ft. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Drawn out, this is 30 acres of water rimmed by 1.2 miles of bank. Index 1.6 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 76% of this chart, as modeled. The basin spans about 0.4 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Algoma District. The nearest mapped water is Big Trout Lake, 1 mi to the east.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 6 to 20 ft before dropping to 3 to 20 ft for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 17 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 6 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (17 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (17 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Come spring, look for rock bass tight to the bank in 2 to 10 ft. Expect a summer slide to 5 to 20 ft, then a winter hold in 6 to 20 ft. Start at Main-lake point. It's a point holding about 8 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in the evening. A ned rig (small) or a marabou jig is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | 1/16 oz jig + grub, Small inline spinner |
| Summer | 5 to 20 ft | dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Ned rig (small), Marabou jig |
| Fall | 6 to 20 ft | midday | Break off the point (9 ft) | Small tube jig, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 6 to 20 ft | midday | Deep basin (17 ft) | Tungsten jig + plastic, Small spoon + spike |
