Rating depth structure for yellow perch.

20-acre lake near Mistatim. The lake tops out around 46 ft. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
On the chart, Jean Lake draws 20 acres inside 0.7 miles of shoreline. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. About 20% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 0.3 mi long. You'll find it in Division No. 14. The nearest mapped water is Greenwater Lake, 24 mi to the southwest.
Spring yellow perch on Jean Lake hold shallow, usually 3 to 12 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 15 to 35 ft. Put Shoreline break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 21 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Shoreline break (21 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Fall | 12 to 35 ft | midday | Shoreline break (21 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
| Winter | 15 to 35 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (39 ft) | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |
Jean Lake carries 4 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 39 ft down.
