Rating depth structure for brook trout.

6-acre lake in Douglas County, Wisconsin. The lake tops out around 4 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Drawn out, this is 6 acres of water rimmed by 1.5 miles of bank. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 4.3) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. All of it is shallow-zone water — under ~15 ft across the entire basin, so the food chain has the run of the place. The basin spans about 0.6 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in Douglas County. For a second option, Two Mile Lake lies 1 mi north.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 4 ft. Summer keeps them at 1 to 4 ft, and they winter in 1 to 4 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 3 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 4 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (4 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 1 to 4 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (3 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 4 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (4 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 4 ft | dawn | Deep basin (3 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
