126-acre lake in Algoma District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 105 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1978, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
On the chart, Woodrow Lake draws 126 acres inside 2.3 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.5) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Roughly 33% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 0.8 mi end to end and 0.5 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in Algoma District. For a second option, Dunn's Lake lies 1 mi northeast.
Spring puts lake trout in skinny water — 10 to 40 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 32 to 105 ft; cold water stacks them in 20 to 80 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 105 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 (24 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 32 to 105 ft | dawn | Deep basin (105 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (24 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Break off the point (87 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Come spring, look for yellow perch tight to the bank in 3 to 12 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 15 to 35 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Back-bay flat: a weed flat around 7 ft that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (7 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Shallow bay flat (14 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Fall | 12 to 35 ft | midday | Deep basin (105 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
| Winter | 15 to 35 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (14 ft) | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |
Spring puts burbot in skinny water — 25 to 70 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 32 to 105 ft; cold water stacks them in 15 to 60 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 105 ft, rated prime for summer burbot. Plan around after dark and midday in the warm months. A heavy jig + cut bait covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 25 to 70 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (105 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 32 to 105 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (105 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 30 to 80 ft | night & dusk | Break off the point (87 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 15 to 60 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (105 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
