1,006-acre lake near Weymouth. The lake tops out around 26 ft. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The outline encloses 873 acres, worked by 23.4 miles of shoreline — 9 islands included. An index of 5.7 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 87% of this chart, as modeled. End to end it runs roughly 4.4 mi, about 1.6 mi across. Digby County claims this one. Belliveau Lake sits 11 mi northwest — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring brook trout on Wentworth Lake hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 8 to 26 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. Put Creek inflow first on the milk run — an inflow / creek mouth near 4 ft that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.

Start shallow in spring: yellow perch sit in 3 to 12 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 26 ft, and winter fish settle into 8 to 26 ft. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for yellow perch in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
