87-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 40 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 87 acres wrapped in 1.9 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 50% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Figure 0.7 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. It sits in Algoma District. If the bite dies, East Twin Lake is 0 mi to the east.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 18 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
