18-acre lake in Nipissing District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 28 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
On the chart, Peck Lake draws 18 acres inside 1 miles of shoreline. Index 1.6 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. Roughly 50% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Call it 0.3 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Nipissing District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Found Lake, 1 mi east of here.
Start shallow in spring: splake sit in 5 to 25 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 8 to 28 ft; cold water stacks them in 6 to 28 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 13 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small casting spoon (gold/orange), Inline spinner |
| Summer | 8 to 28 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (13 ft) | Trolled spoon at the thermocline, White tube jig (deep) |
| Fall | 8 to 28 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait |
| Winter | 6 to 28 ft | dawn | Break off the point (13 ft) | Jigging spoon tipped with minnow head, Small white tube |
Early season yellow perch use the shallows, holding in 3 to 12 ft. Summer is an 8 to 28 ft game here, winter an 8 to 28 ft one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 3 ft, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Summer | 8 to 28 ft | dawn | Deep basin (24 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Fall | 8 to 28 ft | midday | Deep basin (24 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
| Winter | 8 to 28 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (24 ft) | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |
Come spring, look for pumpkinseed tight to the bank in 1 to 8 ft. They move out to 2 to 10 ft in summer and finish the year down in 6 to 18 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 3 ft that scores prime in spring. Best bite is the evening and early morning. A micro tube or a sponge spider (fly) is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 8 ft | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Micro jig under a float, Tiny beetle-spin |
| Summer | 2 to 10 ft | dusk & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Micro tube, Sponge spider (fly) |
| Fall | 4 to 14 ft | dusk & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Micro jig + waxworm, Small spoon tipped |
| Winter | 6 to 18 ft | dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Tungsten ice jig + plastic, Tiny spoon |
