202-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 118 ft. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Vasseau Lake maps at 203 acres behind 3.5 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.8) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 9% of this chart. Tip to tip the water measures near 1.2 mi with a 0.4-mi widest point. It sits in Algoma District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Tenfish Lake, is 1 mi to the south.
Early season lake trout use the shallows, holding in 10 to 40 ft. Expect a summer slide to 35 to 118 ft, then a winter hold in 20 to 80 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 118 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger and you're in the game.
