13-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 30 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 2004 (a transect sounding survey). The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The outline encloses 13 acres, worked by 0.9 miles of shoreline. With a 1.8 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 84% of this chart. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. Algoma District claims this one. White Bear Lake sits 1 mi north — the closest neighbouring chart.
Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 15 ft. Summer is a 10 to 30 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 20 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm and you're in the game.
