Rating depth structure for brook trout.

17-acre lake near Lake County. The lake tops out around 11 ft. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Blesener maps at 17 acres behind 1 miles of shoreline. With a 1.7 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. Figure 0.5 mi of water from one end to the other. Lake County claims this one. If the bite dies, Cramer Homestead is 2 mi to the northwest.
Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 11 ft. Even in summer they hold at 3 to 11 ft; winter keeps them in 2 to 11 ft. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 9 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm and you're in the game.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
