79-acre lake in Parry Sound District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 42 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Drawn out, this is 78 acres of water rimmed by 2.5 miles of bank. Index 2 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 50% of this chart, as modeled. Figure 0.8 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. The water lies in Parry Sound District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Little Weagan L., 1 mi southwest of here.
Start shallow in spring: splake sit in 5 to 25 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 13 to 42 ft, and winter fish settle into 9 to 42 ft. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 19 ft of water that rates prime for splake in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Small casting spoon (gold/orange), Inline spinner |
| Summer | 13 to 42 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (19 ft) | Trolled spoon at the thermocline, White tube jig (deep) |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait |
| Winter | 9 to 42 ft | dawn | Break off the point (19 ft) | Jigging spoon tipped with minnow head, Small white tube |
Spring brown trout on Widgeon Lake hold shallow, usually 3 to 25 ft. They move out to 13 to 42 ft in summer and finish the year down in 5 to 35 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 19 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run after dark and early morning. The summer box starts with a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night).
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Summer | 13 to 42 ft | night & dawn | Break off the point (19 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Fall | 5 to 30 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (11 ft) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 5 to 35 ft | dawn | Break off the point (19 ft) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
