18-acre lake near Paroisse d'Addington. Government of New Brunswick lake depth survey. The lake tops out around 4 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The drawn water covers 17 acres wrapped in 1 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.7) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. End to end it runs roughly 0.4 mi. Restigouche County claims this one. If the bite dies, Head Lake is 1 mi to the west.
Spring smallmouth bass on Jacquet River Lakes hold shallow, usually 1 to 3.9 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 1 to 3.9 ft in summer, 1 to 3.9 ft once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Main-lake point — point, 4 ft, prime for fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a drop shot (goby/minnow) or a ned rig.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 3.9 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (4 ft) | Ned rig, Tube jig |
| Summer | 1 to 3.9 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 ft) | Drop shot (goby/minnow), Ned rig |
| Fall | 1 to 3.9 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (4 ft) | Jerkbait, Blade bait |
| Winter | 1 to 3.9 ft | midday | Break off the point (2 ft) | Blade bait, Hair jig |
In spring, chain pickerel run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3.9 ft. Summer keeps them at 1 to 3.9 ft, and they winter in 1 to 3.9 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 3 ft, rated prime for spring chain pickerel. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a weedless spoon + trailer or a buzzbait most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 3.9 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 1 to 3.9 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Weedless spoon + trailer, Buzzbait |
| Fall | 1 to 3.9 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Jerkbait along weed edges, Spinnerbait |
| Winter | 1 to 3.9 ft | dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Jigging spoon (through ice) |
Spring puts yellow perch in skinny water — 1 to 3.9 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 1 to 3.9 ft, and winter fish hold in 1 to 3.9 ft. Spring yellow perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 3 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 3.9 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Summer | 1 to 3.9 ft | dawn | Deep basin (3 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Fall | 1 to 3.9 ft | midday | Deep basin (3 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
| Winter | 1 to 3.9 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (3 ft) | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 1 to 3.9 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 1 to 3.9 ft, winter 1 to 3.9 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 3 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 3.9 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (4 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 1 to 3.9 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (3 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 3.9 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (4 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 3.9 ft | dawn | Deep basin (3 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
