122-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 80 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Drawn out, this is 122 acres of water rimmed by 3.5 miles of bank. An index of 2.3 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 58% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. End to end it runs roughly 1 mi, about 0.5 mi across. You'll find it in Algoma District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Wenn Lake, 2 mi southwest of here.
Spring puts lake trout in skinny water — 10 to 40 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 24 to 80 ft; cold water stacks them in 20 to 80 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 71 ft, rated prime for summer lake trout. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (9 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 24 to 80 ft | dawn | Deep basin (71 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (9 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Deep basin (71 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 71 ft.
