West Bay of Lake Nipissing
| |
|
Merganser Bay in West Bay of Lake Nipissing is a large
shallow bay that is very productive for Northern Pike
with some Large Mouth Bass. The bay is approximately 5
miles from Memquisit Lodge.
Merganser Bay starts of with app 8 feet of water and stays
this way until you come up to a boulder island in the
middle. The depth then changes to somewhere around 3
feet. On the far east side of the bay you will find a
marsh area, home to some huge Large Mouth Bass. As you
come out of Merganser Bay on the southeast side there is
a lot of island and rocky shoreline. Around these
islands Walleyes and Small Mouth Bass are usually found
in good numbers.
