96-acre lake in Parry Sound District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 49 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 2008 (an MNRF lake survey). Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
On the chart, Peyton Lake draws 96 acres inside 3.3 miles of shoreline. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 2.4) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. About 41% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 1.3 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. The water lies in Parry Sound District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Wolf L., 1 mi southeast of here.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 25 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
