T Lake is a moderately sized lake with a maximum depth of 15 feet and is located approximately 20 miles northeast of Isabella. There is a half mile carry-in access to the southeast side of the lake from the parking area off of Lake County Road #7. There are a couple areas of moderately difficult terrain with boulder fields to cross along this access trail. A second access is a portage trail from Silver Island Lake to the southwest side of the lake. There are two water access campsites found along the lake shore.

The 2019 Walleye catch was above average relative to similar lakes in northeastern Minnesota and the highest catch of seven previous surveys of the lake. The average size was 12.8 inches and 0.8 pounds, only 16% of the catch was over 15 inches long. The largest Walleye sampled was 19.8 inches. The Walleye population is sustained by natural reproduction and ten different year classes were present in the sample. Walleye growth was average for the first three years of growth then slowed down for fish at four years of age and older compared to other lakes in the Finland Area.

Northern Pike catch was below average for the lake class but similar to previous surveys of the lake. The average size of Northern Pike was 19.3 inches and 1.8 pounds, although one pike did measure 32.9 inches.

The catch for Black Crappie was average for the lake class and this was the fourth consecutive survey to sample the species. The size of crappie was good and they averaged 11.6 inches and 0.9 pounds with forty percent of the catch over 12 inches. In the Finland Area, Black Crappie populations tend to consist of low densities with good growth rates, but sporadic reproduction and recruitment.

A single Lake Whitefish was caught during the survey that was 15.2 inches long and 1.6 pounds. The Lake Whitefish population in T Lake appears to be low.

Yellow Perch and White Suckers are also important forage species in the lake and they were captured in numbers considered to be normal for this lake. Other species sampled during the survey included Rock Bass, Johnny Darter, Blacknose Shiner, Pumpkinseed, and Spottail Shiner.
