7-acre lake in Renfrew County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 52 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Drawn out, this is 7 acres of water rimmed by 0.4 miles of bank. A shoreline index of 1.1 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. About 19% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. You'll find it in Renfrew County.

Spring yellow perch on Bennetts Lake hold shallow, usually 3 to 12 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 15 to 35 ft. Put Shoreline break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 23 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm.
