8-acre lake near Pine County. 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. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The outline encloses 8 acres, worked by 0.4 miles of shoreline. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 68% of this chart, as modeled. Pine County claims this one. If the bite dies, Greigs is 1 mi to the northwest.
Spring northern pike on Keene hold shallow, usually 2 to 8 ft. By summer they slide out to 5 to 17 ft, and by winter most fish are in 5 to 15 ft.

The summer box starts with a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage.
