581-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 138 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Traced from the shoreline, Wiggly Lake runs 580 acres with 15.7 miles of edge — 2 islands included. The 4.6 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. About 42% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 2.1 mi of water from one end to the other, 1.8 mi at the beam. The water lies in Algoma District. The nearest mapped water is Pilon Lake, 1 mi to the southwest.
In spring, lake trout run shallow here, mostly 10 to 40 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 50 to 120 ft, and winter fish settle into 20 to 80 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 117 ft, rated prime for summer lake trout. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (35 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 50 to 120 ft | dawn | Deep basin (117 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (35 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Break off the point (62 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
