Rating depth structure for burbot.

69-acre lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 37 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Traced from the shoreline, WE55-09, L. runs 69 acres with 1.7 miles of edge. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 40% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Figure 0.5 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.4 mi at the beam. You'll find it in Kenora District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Beak Lake, 2 mi northeast of here.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: burbot in 11 to 37 ft. The depth story barely changes: 11 to 37 ft through summer, 9 to 37 ft in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 31 ft of water that rates prime for burbot in spring. Plan around after dark and midday in the warm months. 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.
