51-acre lake in Muskoka District Municipality, Ontario. The lake tops out around 51 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). What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The outline encloses 50 acres, worked by 1.6 miles of shoreline. With a 1.6 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 75% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.6 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. It sits in Muskoka District Municipality. If the bite dies, Arrowhead Lake is 1 mi to the southwest.
Start shallow in spring: yellow perch sit in 3 to 12 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 15 to 35 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 18 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
| 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 (18 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Fall | 12 to 35 ft | midday | Break off the point (18 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
| Winter | 15 to 35 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (18 ft) | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |
5 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 50 ft, is the deepest of them.
