76-acre lake in Renfrew County, Ontario. The lake tops out around 39 ft. The depth data here comes from a transect sounding survey by the Ontario MNRF. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The outline encloses 77 acres, worked by 3.4 miles of shoreline, broken up by an island. A development index of 2.8 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. 69% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Figure 1.3 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. It sits in Renfrew County. Lee Lake sits 1 mi east — the closest neighbouring chart.
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. Back-bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 5 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Back-bay flat (5 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |

Spring pumpkinseed concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 2 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. A micro tube or a sponge spider (fly) covers the summer program.
