12-acre lake near Wisconsin. The lake tops out around 25 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Start shallow in spring: rainbow trout sit in 5 to 20 ft that time of year. By summer they slide out to 7 to 25 ft, and by winter most fish are in 5 to 25 ft. Shoreline break is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 11 ft, rated prime for winter rainbow trout. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon and you're in the game.
