Somehow I don't think there's going to be a rush of people to tell you where their holes are.

I've yet to find them in the summer and it's not a big lake.

Joep's right, and our place is on Sparrow lake, but recently I've spent a lot of time snorkeling around Deep Bay (labelled West Bay on the map here), looking for old bottles...and found some too. I saw several large (I know, everything looks bigger underwater) 14-16" bass and a giant walleye in West Bay - not my regular fishing locale. They were all very close to shore (5-30ft out), in shallow water (2-5ft deep), on opposite (N + S) sides of the bay, where the bay is narrower. Using the printed depth map, these areas are 2-2.5cm in from the far SW corner of the Bay (toward the weedy shallow end, but NOT in the end). I could get within feet of the fish, and if I'd had a hawian sling (still illegal in ON), it would have been my most successful ON fishing trip ever. Much of the shallower end of the bay, but before the weeds start, is completely covered with thousands of pine tree fronds (8 inches of branch and tufts of pine needles) I suspect that there are hundreds of years of these down to the bedrock, and that that area of the bay is slowly filling in with this decaying mass. Anyhow, I saw nothing else there.
