505-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 69 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 2021 (an MNRF lake survey). Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The drawn water covers 507 acres wrapped in 9.2 miles of bank. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 2.9) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 32% of this chart. Figure 3.1 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.9 mi at the beam. Algoma District claims this one. If the bite dies, Lily Pad Lake is 2 mi to the northeast.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 13 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.

You won't need more than a ned rig (small) or a marabou jig most summer days.
