Little Eagle Lake Depth Map (Nipissing District, ON)

Hatch outlook

Hopper & ant season (windward banks)Active window

Typical here: Jul 1 – Sep 15 · hoppers peak July–August; winged-ant falls show up on warm humid afternoons — a wind event, not a hatch

adultwarm, breezy afternoons, roughly 1–5pm — slap the imitation down hard — the splat is the trigger — then wait; count to three after the rise before setting

Work the windward bank on breezy summer afternoons — that's where the food is. Casting-bubble-and-hopper is the direct translation; otherwise run small topwaters and inline spinners tight along the grass edges and blowdown banks in the afternoon warmth.

The event happens over windward grassy banks, overhanging brush and blowdowns — wherever the breeze dumps the bugs

Fishing Little Eagle Lake: what the data says

117-acre lake in Nipissing District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 59 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1990 (a transect sounding survey). What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:

Traced from the shoreline, Little Eagle Lake runs 117 acres with 2.8 miles of edge, broken up by an island. Index 1.8 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. About 27% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.7 mi with a 0.5-mi widest point. You'll find it in Nipissing District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Magnetawan Lake, 1 mi northwest of here.

Brook Trout fishing at Little Eagle Lake
