Rating depth structure for brook trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
9-acre lake near Lake County. The lake tops out around 19 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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Goldeneye maps at 9 acres behind 0.6 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.3 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 54% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi. It sits in Lake County. If the bite dies, Echo is 0 mi to the south.
Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 6 to 19 ft, then a winter hold in 3 to 19 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 16 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm and you're in the game.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 6 to 19 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (16 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 19 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (16 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Structure-wise the chart holds 4 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 16 ft.
