110-acre lake in Sudbury District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 25 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Streich Lake maps at 109 acres behind 1.7 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.2) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. Roughly 63% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 0.6 mi end to end and 0.4 mi across at its widest. It sits in Sudbury District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Neumann Lake, is 1 mi to the southwest.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 25 ft, then a winter hold in 3 to 20 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 21 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
| 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 | 8 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (21 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 | Break off the point (11 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Early season splake use the shallows, holding in 5 to 25 ft. Even in summer they hold at 8 to 25 ft; winter keeps them in 6 to 25 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 11 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small casting spoon (gold/orange), Inline spinner |
| Summer | 8 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (11 ft) | Trolled spoon at the thermocline, White tube jig (deep) |
| Fall | 7 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait |
| Winter | 6 to 25 ft | dawn | Break off the point (11 ft) | Jigging spoon tipped with minnow head, Small white tube |
In spring, cisco (lake herring) run shallow here, mostly 6 to 25 ft. Summer keeps them at 8 to 25 ft, and they winter in 8 to 25 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 21 ft, rated prime for spring cisco (lake herring). Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 6 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (21 ft) | Small silver spoon, Tiny swim jig (white) |
| Summer | 8 to 25 ft | dawn | Deep basin (21 ft) | Vertical flutter spoon (small), Drop-shot micro plastic |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (11 ft) | Small casting spoon, Inline spinner (silver) |
| Winter | 8 to 25 ft | dawn | Deep basin (21 ft) | Small jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + minnow head |

Streich Lake is about 25 ft (8 m) deep at its deepest point. The contours here are modeled from the water's real shape and maximum depth, so treat them as a rough guide.
Anglers target brook trout, splake, cisco (lake herring) on Streich Lake.
Break off the point is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 11 ft of water that rates prime for splake in summer. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For brook trout, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
