451-acre lake in Parry Sound District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 135 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 2012 (an MNRF lake survey). The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The outline encloses 453 acres, worked by 14.9 miles of shoreline, broken up by 8 islands. An index of 5 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. 25% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. The basin spans about 2.2 mi end to end and 1.3 mi across at its widest. Parry Sound District claims this one. If the bite dies, Scott Lake is 1 mi to the east.
Early season lake trout use the shallows, holding in 10 to 40 ft. Summer is a 50 to 120 ft game here, winter a 20 to 80 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 135 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 50 to 120 ft | dawn | Deep basin (135 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |

Spring puts cisco (lake herring) in skinny water — 10 to 40 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 40 to 80 ft; cold water stacks them in 20 to 60 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 135 ft, rated good for spring cisco (lake herring). Plan around early morning in the warm months. A vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic covers the summer program.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (135 ft) | Small silver spoon, Tiny swim jig (white) |

Spring puts yellow perch in skinny water — 3 to 12 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 30 ft, wintering in 15 to 35 ft. Spring yellow perch concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 1 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (1 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
