473-acre reservoir near Guernsey. The lake tops out around 21 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
On the chart, Dellwood Brook Reservoir draws 471 acres inside 10.5 miles of shoreline. The 3.5 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 90% of this chart, as modeled. Call it 3.1 mi long by 1.1 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Division No. 11. For a second option, Humboldt Lake lies 25 mi northeast.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: burbot in 6 to 21 ft. The depth story barely changes: 6 to 21 ft through summer, 5 to 21 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 18 ft range, prime in spring. Time it for after dark and midday. Summer baits: a heavy jig + cut bait gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 6 to 21 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (18 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 6 to 21 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (18 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 6 to 21 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (18 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 5 to 21 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (18 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Come spring, look for lake whitefish tight to the bank in 6 to 21 ft. Through summer count on 6 to 21 ft; the winter hold is 6 to 21 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 18 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 6 to 21 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (9 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 6 to 21 ft | dawn | Deep basin (18 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 6 to 21 ft | dusk | Break off the point (9 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 6 to 21 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (18 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
In spring, northern pike run shallow here, mostly 2 to 8 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 20 ft, and winter fish settle into 5 to 15 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 3 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.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (9 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (9 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Spring walleye on Dellwood Brook Reservoir hold shallow, usually 4 to 15 ft. They move out to 6 to 21 ft in summer and finish the year down in 6 to 21 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 9 ft that grades prime for fall. 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).
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |
| Summer | 6 to 21 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (9 ft) | Crawler harness on bottom bouncer, Deep crankbait (trolled) |
| Fall | 6 to 21 ft | dusk & night | Break off the point (9 ft) | Jigging rap, Jig + big minnow |
| Winter | 6 to 21 ft | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (18 ft) | Jigging spoon + minnow head, Rattle bait |
Early season yellow perch use the shallows, holding in 3 to 12 ft. Expect a summer slide to 6 to 21 ft, then a winter hold in 6 to 21 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.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Summer | 6 to 21 ft | dawn | Deep basin (18 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Fall | 6 to 21 ft | midday | Deep basin (18 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
| Winter | 6 to 21 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (18 ft) | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |
