755-acre lake near North Dakota. North Dakota Game & Fish survey water. The lake tops out around 13 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.
Drawn out, this is 755 acres of water rimmed by 4.5 miles of bank. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. All of it is shallow-zone water — under ~15 ft across the entire basin, so the food chain has the run of the place. The basin spans about 1.8 mi end to end and 0.8 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Kidder County. The nearest mapped water is Monson Lake, 11 mi to the northwest.
Spring walleye on Geier Lake hold shallow, usually 3 to 13 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 4 to 13 ft in summer, 4 to 13 ft once it turns cold. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 8 ft that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. The summer box starts with a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled).
