  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include blackbanded darter, bluegill and redeye bass. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish in this exact water on the day. Take Canton Mills Lake a stretch at a time.

• Tackle & Baits

Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. For a change of water, Payne-Smith Lake is 4.2 miles distant. For Canton Mills Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
