1,051-acre pond near North Dakota. North Dakota Game & Fish survey water. The lake tops out around 16 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The outline encloses 1,051 acres, worked by 5.1 miles of shoreline. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. About 78% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 2.1 mi long by 1.3 mi wide at the broadest reach. Burleigh County claims this one. If the bite dies, Davis WPA is 7 mi to the northeast.
Spring puts walleye in skinny water — 4 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 5 to 16 ft, wintering in 5 to 16 ft. Fall walleye concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 16 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening and early morning. A crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) covers the summer program.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Secondary point (3 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |

Start shallow in spring: yellow perch sit in 3 to 12 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 5 to 16 ft, and winter fish settle into 5 to 16 ft. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 16 ft of water that rates prime for yellow perch in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
