113-acre lake in Parry Sound District, Ontario. The lake tops out around 35 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 112 acres wrapped in 4.9 miles of bank. A development index of 3.3 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. Roughly 85% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Call it 2.1 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. It sits in Parry Sound District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Little Etta Lake, is 1 mi to the south.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: walleye in 4 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 15 to 35 ft before dropping to 11 to 35 ft for winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 16 ft of water that rates prime for walleye in fall. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) gets it done.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (9 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |
| Summer | 15 to 35 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (16 ft) | Crawler harness on bottom bouncer, Deep crankbait (trolled) |

Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 2 to 8 ft. Summer is an 8 to 20 ft game here, winter a 5 to 15 ft one.

The chart's best answer is Main-lake point — point, 9 ft, prime for fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a drop shot (goby/minnow) or a ned rig and you're in the game.
