  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Lac a Parker gives up more to patience than to distance. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind.
