Rating depth structure for lake trout.

364-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 105 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 the Ontario MNRF survey of 1981 (a transect sounding survey). The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Traced from the shoreline, Uranium Lake runs 366 acres with 13.4 miles of edge, with 11 islands in the mix. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 5) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. About 43% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Tip to tip the water measures near 2.1 mi with a 1.1-mi widest point. The water lies in Algoma District. The nearest mapped water is Lucus Lake, 1 mi to the north.
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.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake trout in 10 to 40 ft. As the season builds they drop to 32 to 105 ft, wintering in 20 to 80 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 102 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger gets it done.
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 | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 32 to 105 ft chart-limited; documented 50 to 120 ft | dawn | Deep basin (102 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Break off the point (16 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: burbot in 25 to 70 ft. As the season builds they drop to 32 to 105 ft, wintering in 15 to 60 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 102 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for after dark and midday. Summer baits: a heavy jig + cut bait gets it done.
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 | 25 to 70 ft | night & dusk | Break off the point (16 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 32 to 105 ft chart-limited; documented 50 to 120 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (102 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 30 to 80 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (102 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 15 to 60 ft | night & dusk | Break off the point (16 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
8 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 102 ft, is the deepest of them.

Uranium Lake is about 105 ft (32 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1981 (a transect sounding survey).
Anglers target lake trout, burbot on Uranium Lake.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 102 ft of water that rates prime for lake trout in summer. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
For lake trout, the summer bite is best in early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
