8-acre lake in Maricopa County, Arizona. The lake tops out around 10 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The drawn water covers 7 acres wrapped in 0.4 miles of bank. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. It sits in Maricopa County. Its nearest charted neighbour, Veterans Oasis Lake, is 3 mi to the southwest.
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 3 to 10 ft. Through summer count on 3 to 10 ft; the winter hold is 2 to 10 ft. Start at Shoreline break. It's a drop-off holding about 5 ft of water and rates prime come winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (5 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 3 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (5 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 3 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (5 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 2 to 10 ft | dawn | Shoreline break (5 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Early season largemouth bass use the shallows, holding in 2 to 10 ft. Even in summer they hold at 3 to 10 ft; winter keeps them in 3 to 10 ft.

Tie on a texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait and you're in the game.
