86-acre lake in Nipissing District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 70 ft. The depth data here comes from the Ontario MNRF survey of 1968, a decades-old survey (a transect sounding survey). What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The outline encloses 86 acres, worked by 2.5 miles of shoreline, with a single island in the mix. A middling shoreline index (2) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. About 28% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 0.6 mi long by 0.5 mi wide at the broadest reach. It sits in Nipissing District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Blue L., is 1 mi to the southwest.
Spring puts yellow perch in skinny water — 3 to 12 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 15 to 35 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 4 ft, rated prime for spring yellow perch. Plan around early morning in the warm months. 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 (4 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Shallow bay flat (4 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Fall | 12 to 35 ft | midday | Deep basin (70 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
| Winter | 15 to 35 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (70 ft) | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |
Count 6 structure marks on this chart. The deepest, Deep basin, sits near 70 ft.
