65-acre lake near Clearwater County. The lake tops out around 15 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
On the chart, Evey draws 65 acres inside 2.2 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 2) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.7 mi with a 0.4-mi widest point. You'll find it in Clearwater County. The nearest mapped water is Lower Camp, 1 mi to the south.
When the water first warms, walleye slide up into 4 to 15 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 5 to 15 ft, winter 5 to 15 ft.

Keep a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) rigged through the warm months.
