Lake Wyola, Shutesbury
General Information Lake Wyola is a 128 acre Great Pond located in Shutesbury, a little over four miles west of Route 202. The average depth of Lake Wyola is 12 feet with a maximum depth of 35 feet and the water is typically transparent to roughly 8 feet. The bottom is predominantly mud with scattered areas of gravel. Aquatic vegetation is thickest in the north and south east corners of the lake and sparse elsewhere. The shoreline is 80% developed with year round homes and summer cottages. Swimming, boating and fishing are all popular activities on Lake Wyola. Recreational Access The town of Shutesbury manages a gravel ramp and adjacent parking area (72°25'42.934"W 42°29'47.803"N) suitable for 5 trailers within the Lake Wyola Conservation Area off of Locke's Pond Road on the south eastern corner of the pond. The shore may be accessed within this conservation area as well as from the public beach within Lake Wyola state park on the northwestern shore (see map). Please contact the offices of the town of Shutesbury for additional information, and/or restrictions pertaining to public access of Lake Wyola. Fish Populations The following fish species were found during MassWildlife surveys: Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Chain Pickerel, Yellow Perch, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, Brown Bullhead, Golden Shiner, Banded Killifish, Fallfish, and White Sucker. Lake Wyola is also stocked annually in the spring and fall with trout.
Fishing Lake Wyola is a good location to catch stocked trout, which are numerous. Chain Pickerel and Largemouth Bass, some in the 4 to 5 pound range, can also be caught in the vegetated areas of the lake. Smallmouth Bass are also present but in lower abundances. Lake Wyola has produced Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Chain Pickerel, bullhead, and Brook Trout that meet minimum sizes for recognition by the Freshwater Sportfishing Awards Program.
