339-acre lake in Timiskaming District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 84 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Turner Lake maps at 340 acres behind 5.9 miles of shoreline — 2 islands included. With a shoreline index of 2.3, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 27% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 1.6 mi end to end and 0.7 mi across at its widest. It sits in Timiskaming District. Barter Lake sits 1 mi northwest — the closest neighbouring chart.
Come spring, look for lake trout tight to the bank in 10 to 40 ft. Expect a summer slide to 25 to 84 ft, then a winter hold in 20 to 80 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 71 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (21 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 25 to 84 ft | dawn | Deep basin (71 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (21 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Deep basin (71 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake whitefish in 15 to 45 ft. As the season builds they drop to 25 to 84 ft, wintering in 25 to 70 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 71 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 15 to 45 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (38 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 25 to 84 ft | dawn | Deep basin (71 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dusk | Main-lake point (21 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 25 to 70 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (71 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
