104-acre lake in Parry Sound District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 50 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1968, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The drawn water covers 104 acres wrapped in 3 miles of bank. With a 2.1 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 38% of this chart. Call it 1 mi long by 0.5 mi wide at the broadest reach. Parry Sound District claims this one. If the bite dies, Buck Lake is 1 mi to the west.
When the water first warms, splake slide up into 5 to 25 ft. Summer is a 15 to 50 ft game here, winter a 10 to 45 ft one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 38 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (7 ft) | Small casting spoon (gold/orange), Inline spinner |
| Summer | 15 to 50 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (38 ft) | Trolled spoon at the thermocline, White tube jig (deep) |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (7 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait |
| Winter | 10 to 45 ft | dawn | Break off the point (38 ft) | Jigging spoon tipped with minnow head, Small white tube |
Start shallow in spring: yellow perch sit in 3 to 12 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 15 to 35 ft. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 8 ft of water that rates prime for yellow perch in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. 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 (8 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Shallow bay flat (8 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Fall | 12 to 35 ft | midday | Break off the point (38 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
| Winter | 15 to 35 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (49 ft) | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |
Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 49 ft.
