33-acre lake in Nipissing District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 18 ft. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
The outline encloses 33 acres, worked by 1.5 miles of shoreline. With a 1.9 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. Roughly 72% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Figure 0.6 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. It sits in Nipissing District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Timber Lake, is 1 mi to the southwest.
Spring rainbow trout on Campbell Lake hold shallow, usually 5 to 18 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 5 to 18 ft in summer, 4 to 18 ft once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 8 ft, prime for winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon.
