Lafleche point to Crockett's hole in West Bay of Lake Nipissing
Crockett Hole, so named after the person that made this area is favorite fishing hole, is basically an area with small islands, nice rock shoals and boulders. This spot is awesome for Walleyes and Northern Pike in the earlier spring. Be careful when you enter this area as the rock shoals are barely submerged during normal water levels. Be versatile and fish the entire area. Concentrate on the submerged shoal at the tip of the west most island of Crockett Hole.
