2,793-acre lake in Thunder Bay District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 158 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1981 (a transect sounding survey). Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Drawn out, this is 2,805 acres of water rimmed by 60.8 miles of bank, broken up by 56 islands. A development index of 8.2 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. 36% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 9 mi long by 3.4 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Thunder Bay District. The nearest mapped water is Gaal Lake, 5 mi to the southwest.
Spring puts lake trout in skinny water — 10 to 40 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 50 to 120 ft, wintering in 20 to 80 ft. Spring lake trout concentrate at Secondary point, a prime-rated point around 27 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (27 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 50 to 120 ft | dawn | Deep basin (133 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (6 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Sharp break (59 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Come spring, look for walleye tight to the bank in 4 to 15 ft. They move out to 15 to 35 ft in summer and finish the year down in 20 to 40 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 16 ft that scores prime in fall. Best bite is the evening and early morning. A crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (5 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |
| Summer | 15 to 35 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (16 ft) | Crawler harness on bottom bouncer, Deep crankbait (trolled) |
| Fall | 12 to 40 ft | dusk & night | Break off the point (16 ft) | Jigging rap, Jig + big minnow |
| Winter | 20 to 40 ft | dusk & dawn | Sharp break (22 ft) | Jigging spoon + minnow head, Rattle bait |
