7-acre lake near Wisconsin. The lake tops out around 14 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 14 ft. Summer fish stay in 4 to 14 ft, and winter fish hold in 2 to 14 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 12 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.

Start shallow in spring: muskellunge sit in 3 to 12 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 4 to 14 ft, and winter fish settle into 4 to 14 ft. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 6 ft of water that rates prime for muskellunge in fall. In summer the feeding windows fall in the evening and early morning. Tie on a double-10 bucktail or a topwater (walk-the-dog / creeper) and you're in the game.
