77-acre lake near Ramsey County. The lake tops out around 5 ft. The depth data here comes from the Minnesota DNR survey of 1981 (the DNR's original lake-survey map). What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
The drawn water covers 77 acres wrapped in 2.2 miles of bank. With a 1.8 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.8 mi with a 0.4-mi widest point. It sits in Ramsey County. Spoon sits 1 mi north — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring puts walleye in skinny water — 1 to 5 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 2 to 5 ft, and winter fish hold in 2 to 5 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 5 ft, rated prime for fall walleye. Plan around the evening and early morning in the warm months. A crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) covers the summer program.
