81-acre lake in Parry Sound District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 25 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
On the chart, Bluesky Lake draws 81 acres inside 2.4 miles of shoreline. Index 1.9 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 71% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Figure 1 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. The water lies in Parry Sound District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Wolf L., 2 mi northeast of here.
Early season yellow perch use the shallows, holding in 3 to 12 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 25 ft, then a winter hold in 8 to 25 ft. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 3 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Summer | 8 to 25 ft | dawn | Deep basin (21 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |

The spring pattern is a shallow one: burbot in 8 to 25 ft. The depth story barely changes: 8 to 25 ft through summer, 6 to 25 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 21 ft range, prime in spring. Time it for after dark and midday. Summer baits: a heavy jig + cut bait gets it done.
