22-acre lake near Cass County. The lake tops out around 24 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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
On the chart, Lee draws 22 acres inside 1 miles of shoreline. Index 1.5 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. Roughly 43% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Cass County. The nearest mapped water is Sleepy Island, 1 mi to the southeast.
Start shallow in spring: brown bullhead sit in 2 to 8 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 3 to 12 ft, and winter fish settle into 7 to 24 ft. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 20 ft of water that rates prime for brown bullhead in winter. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and the evening.
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 | 2 to 8 ft | dusk & night | open water | |
| Summer | 3 to 12 ft | night & dusk | open water | |
| Fall | 5 to 15 ft | dusk | open water | |
| Winter | 7 to 24 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 25 ft | midday | Deep basin (20 ft) |
Structure-wise the chart holds 3 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 20 ft.
