3,882-acre lake near Falcon Lake. The lake tops out around 79 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Drawn out, this is 3,815 acres of water rimmed by 24.5 miles of bank, broken up by 2 islands. A development index of 2.8 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. 37% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 7.7 mi long by 1.4 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Division No. 1. The nearest mapped water is Star Lake, 4 mi to the north.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: smallmouth bass in 3 to 12 ft. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 30 ft, wintering in 20 to 45 ft.

Summer baits: a drop shot (goby/minnow) or a ned rig gets it done.
