Rating depth structure for brook trout.

8-acre lake in Vilas County, Wisconsin. The lake tops out around 9 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The drawn water covers 8 acres wrapped in 1.2 miles of bank. A development index of 3 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.4 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. Vilas County claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Starrett Lake, is 1 mi to the southeast.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 1 to 9 ft. Through summer count on 3 to 9 ft; the winter hold is 1 to 9 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 8 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 3 to 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (8 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 9 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 9 ft | dawn | Deep basin (8 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
3 pieces of structure are mapped here — Main-lake point, around 8 ft, is the deepest of them.
