Rating depth structure for brook trout.
Shared by DepthScout anglers. Exact spots stay private, always.
11-acre lake in Oneida County, Wisconsin. The lake tops out around 5 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Kitty Springs runs 11 acres with 1.3 miles of edge. An index of 2.7 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.6 mi. The water lies in Oneida County. The nearest mapped water is Lower Kaubashine Lake, 1 mi to the southeast.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 5 ft. Summer keeps them at 2 to 5 ft, and they winter in 1 to 5 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 4 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 5 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 2 to 5 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (4 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 5 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 5 ft | dawn | Deep basin (4 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
The chart marks 5 structure features on Kitty Springs; the deepest is Main-lake point at about 5 ft.
