121-acre lake in Nipissing District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 59 ft. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth.

Tyne Lake maps at 121 acres behind 3.9 miles of shoreline. With a shoreline index of 2.5, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. Roughly 53% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Call it 0.9 mi long by 0.6 mi wide at the broadest reach. Nipissing District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Stove Lake, is 0 mi to the northwest.
Spring splake on Tyne Lake hold shallow, usually 5 to 25 ft. They move out to 18 to 59 ft in summer and finish the year down in 10 to 45 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 27 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep).

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (15 ft) | Small casting spoon (gold/orange), Inline spinner |

Spring smallmouth bass on Tyne Lake hold shallow, usually 3 to 12 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 20 to 45 ft. The chart's best answer is Main-lake point — point, 15 ft, prime for fall. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a drop shot (goby/minnow) or a ned rig.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (15 ft) | Ned rig, Tube jig |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (27 ft) | Drop shot (goby/minnow), Ned rig |

Spring puts pumpkinseed in skinny water — 1 to 8 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 10 ft; cold water stacks them in 6 to 18 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 6 ft, rated prime for spring pumpkinseed. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. A micro tube or a sponge spider (fly) covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 8 ft | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Micro jig under a float, Tiny beetle-spin |
