12-acre lake in Dodge County, Nebraska. The lake tops out around 16 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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
The outline encloses 12 acres, worked by 0.6 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end. It sits in Dodge County. Fremont Lake 5 sits 0 mi southeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 4 to 16 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 4 to 16 ft, winter 3 to 16 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 9 ft that scores prime in winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon rigged through the warm months.
