Lake Nosbonsing

Post by **Alumacraft** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 12:13 pm

One of my best friends just purchased a rental property on Lake Nosbonsing and I was looking for some general lake info, as we have never fished this lake before. I am not looking for anyones hot spots, just general info. Such as what is the water colour clear or stained? Is it a weedy or rocky lake? If weedy what is the predominant type of weed? Is it more of a shoreline structure or open water structure lake? What is the average depth? What is the deepest hole?I know whats in the lake for game fish but,I was also wondering about the forage fish? I've heard that there is lake herring or whitefish but I'm not 100% sure about that?
I have been trying to find a hydrographic map for this lake without any success. I've tried Pen.Press in StCatharines no luck, went to the Sportsmen show the hydro map guy was not there.I've looked on the net can not find one. I have found the Adventure series and the Fishingmap Plus series(ordered both) but I know the detail I want will not be on those maps. Any thoughts on where I could find a hydrographic map?
Any and all info is welcome.
Thanks Rob

Hey alumacraft.
Lake nosbonsing is a clear, shallow, weedy lake averaging 10-15 feet. there arent any whitefish or lake herring in there, main species are pike and walleye. Not sure what are the forage fish but i will tell u that shiners dont last long in that lake!
