There is no recorded figure for depth. In place of a number, use the ground: treat each arm or bay as its own water rather than trying to fish the whole.
Open water is the exception rather than the rule here. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near early May. Break-up near early May, freeze-up near early November: that is the shape of an average year.
Boat access is not mapped, so the bank is the way in. Where the approach crosses private land, ask first. A change of water often beats a change of tactics.
