8-acre lake near St. Louis County. The lake tops out around 27 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The outline encloses 8 acres, worked by 0.4 miles of shoreline. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 32% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. It sits in St. Louis County. Its nearest charted neighbour, Wilson, is 0 mi to the southwest.
In spring, yellow perch run shallow here, mostly 3 to 12 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 27 ft before dropping to 8 to 27 ft for winter. Fall yellow perch concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 23 ft. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm most summer days.
