16-acre lake near St. Louis County. The lake tops out around 15 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Traced from the shoreline, Chase runs 16 acres with 0.7 miles of edge. At index 1.2 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi, about 0.2 mi across. The water lies in St. Louis County. For a second option, Profit lies 1 mi north.
Early season yellow perch use the shallows, holding in 3 to 12 ft. Expect a summer slide to 5 to 15 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 15 ft. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 3 ft that grades prime for spring. 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.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
