Hatch outlook

Hopper & ant season (windward banks)Active window

Typical here: Jul 1 – Sep 15 · hoppers peak July–August; winged-ant falls show up on warm humid afternoons — a wind event, not a hatch

adultwarm, breezy afternoons, roughly 1–5pm — slap the imitation down hard — the splat is the trigger — then wait; count to three after the rise before setting

Work the windward bank on breezy summer afternoons — that's where the food is. Casting-bubble-and-hopper is the direct translation; otherwise run small topwaters and inline spinners tight along the grass edges and blowdown banks in the afternoon warmth.

The event happens over windward grassy banks, overhanging brush and blowdowns — wherever the breeze dumps the bugs

Fall shiner runActive window

Typical here: Sep 1 – Oct 31 · same push on the Ontario side — Simcoe's shiners migrate shallow as the water cools, and the predators ride with them

adultdaylight for the jig bite; after dark the shiners stack under dock lights with walleyes and pike mixed right in — follow the bait, not the spot — millions of shiners move together and the predators ride with them; silver profile and flash matter

Concentrates hard but travels — the school (and the walleyes under it) can be off a river mouth one week and miles upriver the next.

Jig-and-minnow is the event's signature — a frozen emerald shiner on a 1/4 oz jig drifted along the run; silver jerkbaits and trolled crankbaits take the roaming fish; blade baits under the schools.

The event happens over river mouths and the first miles upriver, warming shallow shorelines, and rocky points where the displaced bait stacks

Fishing Tulleys P.: what the data says

53-acre lake in Lanark County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 9 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.

Drawn out, this is 54 acres of water rimmed by 3 miles of bank, broken up by an island. An index of 3 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. The basin spans about 0.8 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Lanark County. For a second option, Adams Lake lies 1 mi east.

Smallmouth Bass fishing at Tulleys P.

Start shallow in spring: smallmouth bass sit in 2 to 9 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 3 to 9 ft covers summer, 3 to 9 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Main-lake point, a point in about 8 ft of water that rates prime for smallmouth bass in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a drop shot (goby/minnow) or a ned rig until the fish tell you otherwise.

Season	Depth	Best window	Start at	Go-to baits
Spring	2 to 9 ft	dawn & dusk	Main-lake point (8 ft)	Ned rig, Tube jig
Summer	3 to 9 ft	dawn & dusk	Break off the point (4 ft)	Drop shot (goby/minnow), Ned rig
Fall	3 to 9 ft	midday & dawn	Main-lake point (8 ft)	Jerkbait, Blade bait
Winter	3 to 9 ft	midday	Break off the point (4 ft)	Blade bait, Hair jig

Largemouth Bass fishing at Tulleys P.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: largemouth bass in 2 to 9 ft. The depth story barely changes: 3 to 9 ft through summer, 3 to 9 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 3 ft range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait gets it done.

Season	Depth	Best window	Start at	Go-to baits
Spring	2 to 9 ft	dawn & dusk	Shallow bay flat (3 ft)	Spinnerbait, Chatterbait
Summer	3 to 9 ft	dawn & dusk	Shallow bay flat (3 ft)	Texas-rigged 10" worm, Deep-diving crankbait
Fall	2 to 9 ft	midday & dawn	Main-lake point (8 ft)	Squarebill crankbait (shad), Spinnerbait
Winter	3 to 9 ft	midday	Break off the point (4 ft)	Blade bait, Jigging spoon

Pumpkinseed fishing at Tulleys P.

Early season pumpkinseed use the shallows, holding in 1 to 8 ft. Expect a summer slide to 2 to 9 ft, then a winter hold in 3 to 9 ft. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 3 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in the evening and early morning. Tie on a micro tube or a sponge spider (fly) and you're in the game.

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 9 ft	dusk & dawn	Shallow bay flat (3 ft)	Micro tube, Sponge spider (fly)
