Rating depth structure for brook trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
51-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 13 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 a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Traced from the shoreline, Tees Lake runs 52 acres with 1.5 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.5) — enough points and pockets to pattern. All of it is shallow-zone water — under ~15 ft across the entire basin, so the food chain has the run of the place. The basin spans about 0.5 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Algoma District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Vanhorn Lake, 0 mi southwest of here.
These fish are listed in an exact-water agency record as forage or ecological context. They are not target-species profiles and do not affect DepthScout's Prime, Good, or Fair spot ratings.

Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 13 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 4 to 13 ft, and winter fish hold in 2 to 13 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 13 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 13 ft chart-limited; documented 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (4 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 4 to 13 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (13 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 13 ft chart-limited; documented 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (4 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 2 to 13 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (13 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
In spring, burbot run shallow here, mostly 4 to 13 ft. Summer keeps them at 4 to 13 ft, and they winter in 3 to 13 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 13 ft, rated prime for spring burbot. Time it for after dark and midday. You won't need more than a heavy jig + cut bait most summer days.

| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 13 ft chart-limited; documented 25 to 70 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (13 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 4 to 13 ft chart-limited; documented 50 to 120 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (13 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 4 to 13 ft chart-limited; documented 30 to 80 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (13 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 3 to 13 ft chart-limited; documented 15 to 60 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (13 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
