Rating depth structure for walleye.

5,897-acre lake near Cater. The lake tops out around 17 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.
Helene Lake maps at 5,882 acres behind 20.3 miles of shoreline — 2 islands included. With a 1.9 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. Roughly 91% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 7.9 mi with a 2.4-mi widest point. It sits in Division No. 16. Little Loon Lake sits 14 mi south — the closest neighbouring chart.
In spring, walleye run shallow here, mostly 4 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 5 to 17 ft before dropping to 5 to 17 ft for winter. Fall walleye concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 8 ft. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Gravel shoal (3 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |
| Summer | 5 to 17 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (8 ft) | Crawler harness on bottom bouncer, Deep crankbait (trolled) |
| Fall | 5 to 17 ft | dusk & night | Break off the point (8 ft) | Jigging rap, Jig + big minnow |
| Winter | 5 to 17 ft | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (14 ft) | Jigging spoon + minnow head, Rattle bait |
12 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 14 ft, is the deepest of them.
