531-acre lake near Wadena County. The lake tops out around 14 ft. The depth data here comes from the Minnesota DNR survey of 1963, a decades-old survey (the DNR's original lake-survey map). Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Drawn out, this is 531 acres of water rimmed by 5.7 miles of bank. Index 1.8 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. 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 1.9 mi end to end and 0.8 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Wadena County. The nearest mapped water is Morgan, 1 mi to the southeast.
Spring walleye on Blueberry hold shallow, usually 4 to 14 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 4 to 14 ft in summer, 4 to 14 ft once it turns cold. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 14 ft that grades prime for winter. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. The summer box starts with a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled).

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 14 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (1 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |

Early season yellow perch use the shallows, holding in 3 to 12 ft. Expect a summer slide to 4 to 14 ft, then a winter hold in 4 to 14 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 14 ft that grades prime for fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in 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 (1 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |

Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 1 ft, rated prime for spring northern pike. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage most summer days.

The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 14 ft of water that rates prime for muskellunge in winter. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. Throw a double-10 bucktail or a topwater (walk-the-dog / creeper) until the fish tell you otherwise.
