Water in the same corner: Hidden Lake at about 6.2 km, Bush Lake roughly 8.4 km, Borzoi Lake at about 9.9 km, Beaver Lake roughly 10 km and Shallow Lake at about 10 km. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Stranded Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Species logged across Algoma include walleye, northern pike, Iowa darter, yellow perch and white sucker. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Treat Stranded Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 16°C, the coldest about -16°C. The freeze holds for the better part of the year. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around late April. The season between ice runs from about late April to mid November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. It holds true on Stranded Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. The nearest alternative is Hidden Lake, 6.2 km out. Nothing here settles the position at Stranded Lake for certain.
