42-acre lake in Timiskaming District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 30 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. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1973, a decades-old survey (an MNRF lake survey). Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Wolverton Lake maps at 42 acres behind 1.1 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.3) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 63% of this chart. Figure 0.4 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. Timiskaming District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Coutts Lake, is 0 mi to the south.
Spring brook trout on Wolverton Lake hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 20 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
