That lake is beautiful but it's clear and very deep. Not an easy lake to figure out but I'm determined to learn it and make it my home lake. I am tired of fishing JPP for many reasons and I also really like the taste of Smallmouth which is mostly what you'll catch at Tims.
Work along the sharp points anywhere in the lake, there are about 100,000 of them. The coves may hold some fish too. Anywhere else and you're in 40-160 feet of water and wasting your time unless you mark suspended fish.

Thanks for the info, looks like I'll be heading there 😁 I was told below the damn would be productive
