86-acre lake near Grant County. The lake tops out around 27 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Burke Lake maps at 86 acres behind 2.6 miles of shoreline. With a 2 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. About 47% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. End to end it runs roughly 1.3 mi, about 0.2 mi across. Grant County claims this one. If the bite dies, Evergreen Reservoir is 0 mi to the south.
Early season rainbow trout use the shallows, holding in 5 to 20 ft. Summer is a 7 to 27 ft game here, winter a 5 to 27 ft one. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 15 ft, prime for winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (10 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 7 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (15 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
