225-acre lake in Hastings County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 105 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1983 (a transect sounding survey). Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Lavallee Lake maps at 226 acres behind 5.2 miles of shoreline. The 2.5 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 23% of this chart. Call it 1.5 mi long by 0.9 mi wide at the broadest reach. Hastings County claims this one. Mountain Lake sits 3 mi southwest — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring lake trout on Lavallee Lake hold shallow, usually 10 to 40 ft. They move out to 32 to 105 ft in summer and finish the year down in 20 to 80 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 105 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (27 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 32 to 105 ft | dawn | Deep basin (105 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (27 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Break off the point (81 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Early season smallmouth bass use the shallows, holding in 3 to 12 ft. Expect a summer slide to 10 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 20 to 45 ft. Put Main-lake point first on the milk run — a point near 27 ft that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a drop shot (goby/minnow) or a ned rig and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Ned rig, Tube jig |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (27 ft) | Drop shot (goby/minnow), Ned rig |
| Fall | 8 to 25 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (27 ft) | Jerkbait, Blade bait |
| Winter | 20 to 45 ft | midday | Break off the point (81 ft) | Blade bait, Hair jig |
