48-acre lake in Timiskaming District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 112 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 2002 (an MNRF lake survey). Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
On the chart, Tory Lake draws 48 acres inside 1.3 miles of shoreline, with a single island in the mix. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.3) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. 10% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 0.5 mi long by 0.3 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Timiskaming District. For a second option, Holbrooke Lake lies 1 mi southwest.
Start shallow in spring: splake sit in 5 to 25 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 25 to 60 ft; cold water stacks them in 10 to 45 ft. Top water on the chart: Main-lake point, a point in the 28 ft range, prime in fall. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (28 ft) | Small casting spoon (gold/orange), Inline spinner |
| Summer | 25 to 60 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (28 ft) | Trolled spoon at the thermocline, White tube jig (deep) |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (28 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait |
| Winter | 10 to 45 ft | dawn | Break off the point (103 ft) | Jigging spoon tipped with minnow head, Small white tube |
Start shallow in spring: rainbow trout sit in 5 to 20 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 8 to 40 ft. The spot to know is Main-lake point, a point in about 28 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
