11-acre lake in Grey County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 13 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Menarys L. maps at 11 acres behind 0.7 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. All of it is shallow-zone water — under ~15 ft across the entire basin, so the food chain has the run of the place. Call it 0.3 mi long. Grey County claims this one. If the bite dies, Hines Lake is 4 mi to the south.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 13 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 4 to 13 ft, winter 2 to 13 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 11 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 13 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 4 to 13 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (11 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 13 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 2 to 13 ft | dawn | Deep basin (11 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
