Drawn out, this is 422 acres of water rimmed by 5.7 miles of bank. Index 2 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. Roughly 34% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 2.1 mi, about 0.6 mi across. You'll find it in Hubbard County.

Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 2 to 8 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 8 to 20 ft; cold water stacks them in 5 to 15 ft.
