83-acre lake in Kenora District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 50 ft. The depth chart comes from Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1971, a decades-old survey (an MNRF lake survey). The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Traced from the shoreline, Hyndman Lake runs 84 acres with 2.3 miles of edge. Index 1.8 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. About 72% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 0.7 mi long by 0.4 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Kenora District. The nearest mapped water is Unnamed Lake (FMZ04_01), 7 mi to the northeast.
Spring yellow perch on Hyndman Lake hold shallow, usually 3 to 12 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 15 to 35 ft. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 1 ft, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Break off the point (1 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Fall | 12 to 35 ft | midday | Break off the point (1 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
| Winter | 15 to 35 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |
