57-acre lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 89 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Drawn out, this is 57 acres of water rimmed by 1.5 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 18% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. End to end it runs roughly 0.6 mi, about 0.2 mi across. You'll find it in Kenora District. The nearest mapped water is VF41-67, L., 1 mi to the west.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake trout in 10 to 40 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 27 to 89 ft before dropping to 20 to 80 ft for winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 76 ft of water that rates prime for lake trout in summer. Plan around early morning in the warm months. 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 (22 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 27 to 89 ft chart-limited; documented 50 to 120 ft | dawn | Deep basin (76 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (22 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Deep basin (76 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Structure-wise the chart holds 5 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 76 ft.
