Rating depth structure for brook trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
15-acre lake near Lake County. The lake tops out around 18 ft. The depth chart comes from Minnesota Department of Natural Resources bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The depth data here comes from the Minnesota DNR survey of 1981 (the DNR's original lake-survey map). Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Gypsy maps at 15 acres behind 0.7 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. It sits in Lake County. Dunnigan sits 1 mi east — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring brook trout on Gypsy hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 5 to 18 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 18 ft. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 11 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
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 | Shoreline break (5 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 5 to 18 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (11 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 18 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (11 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Structure-wise the chart holds 3 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 11 ft.
