158-acre lake in Sudbury District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 59 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1978, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
The outline encloses 159 acres, worked by 2.6 miles of shoreline. At index 1.4 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Roughly 50% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 0.9 mi, about 0.5 mi across. Sudbury District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Stull Lake, is 1 mi to the south.
Early season lake trout use the shallows, holding in 10 to 40 ft. Summer is an 18 to 59 ft game here, winter a 15 to 59 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 59 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (15 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 18 to 59 ft | dawn | Deep basin (59 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (7 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 15 to 59 ft | dawn | Deep basin (59 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Spring puts yellow perch in skinny water — 3 to 12 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 30 ft, wintering in 15 to 35 ft. Spring yellow perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 4 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (4 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Break off the point (15 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Fall | 12 to 35 ft | midday | Break off the point (15 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
| Winter | 15 to 35 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (15 ft) | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |
Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 18 to 59 ft. Even in summer they hold at 18 to 59 ft; winter keeps them in 15 to 59 ft. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 59 ft, prime for spring. Best bite is after dark and midday. Tie on a heavy jig + cut bait and you're in the game.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 18 to 59 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (59 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
