125-acre lake in Haliburton County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 128 ft. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
North Pigeon Lake maps at 126 acres behind 2.7 miles of shoreline. With a 1.7 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 22% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 1 mi end to end and 0.5 mi across at its widest. It sits in Haliburton County. If the bite dies, Little Bob Lake is 1 mi to the southwest.
When the water first warms, lake trout slide up into 10 to 40 ft. By summer they slide out to 50 to 120 ft, and by winter most fish are in 20 to 80 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 125 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (36 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 50 to 120 ft | dawn | Deep basin (125 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (36 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Break off the point (99 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
