133-acre lake in Parry Sound District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 22 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 1973, a decades-old survey (an MNRF lake survey). Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The outline encloses 133 acres, worked by 2.2 miles of shoreline. Its 1.4 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. 79% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Figure 0.7 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.4 mi at the beam. Parry Sound District claims this one. If the bite dies, Kelsey Lake is 1 mi to the north.
Early season brown bullhead use the shallows, holding in 2 to 8 ft. Summer is a 3 to 12 ft game here, winter a 7 to 22 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 20 ft, prime for winter. Best bite is after dark and the evening.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | dusk & night | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | |
| Summer | 3 to 12 ft | night & dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | |
| Fall | 5 to 15 ft | dusk | Shallow bay flat (2 ft) | |
| Winter | 7 to 22 ft | midday | Deep basin (20 ft) |
Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 20 ft.
