33-acre lake near Carver County. The lake tops out around 27 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Traced from the shoreline, Aue runs 33 acres with 1.1 miles of edge. Its 1.4 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. About 53% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The basin spans about 0.4 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in Carver County. For a second option, Miller lies 2 mi west.
Early season yellow perch use the shallows, holding in 3 to 12 ft. Summer is an 8 to 27 ft game here, winter an 8 to 27 ft one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 3 ft, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |

Start shallow in spring: common carp sit in 2 to 10 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 3 to 15 ft, and winter fish settle into 8 to 27 ft. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for common carp in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening.
