6-acre lake in Parry Sound District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 23 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Traced from the shoreline, Love Lake runs 6 acres with 0.4 miles of edge. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 67% of this chart, as modeled. You'll find it in Parry Sound District. For a second option, McQuoid Lake lies 2 mi northeast.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. As the season builds they drop to 7 to 23 ft, wintering in 3 to 20 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 20 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 7 to 23 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (20 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (20 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Start shallow in spring: brown bullhead sit in 2 to 8 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 3 to 12 ft; cold water stacks them in 7 to 23 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 20 ft range, prime in winter. Fish it in after dark and the evening and you'll meet the bite.
