Rating depth structure for brook trout.

40-acre lake near Cook County. The lake tops out around 5 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Drawn out, this is 40 acres of water rimmed by 1.5 miles of bank. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.7) — enough points and pockets to pattern. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. Call it 0.7 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Cook County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Binagami, 2 mi southeast of here.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 1 to 5 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 2 to 5 ft, and winter fish hold in 1 to 5 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 4 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
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 | 1 to 5 ft chart-limited; documented 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 2 to 5 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (4 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 5 ft chart-limited; documented 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 5 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (4 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
