Rating depth structure for brook trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
13-acre lake near Cook County. The lake tops out around 11 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
On the chart, Eggers draws 13 acres inside 0.6 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.3) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi. You'll find it in Cook County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: East Twin, 1 mi south of here.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 11 ft. Summer keeps them at 3 to 11 ft, and they winter in 2 to 11 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 9 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 11 ft chart-limited; documented 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 3 to 11 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (9 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 11 ft chart-limited; documented 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 2 to 11 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (9 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
