Rating depth structure for rainbow trout.

6-acre lake in Kewaunee County, Wisconsin. The lake tops out around 3 ft. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The outline encloses 6 acres, worked by 0.5 miles of shoreline. With a 1.5 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. It sits in Kewaunee County. Its nearest charted neighbour, Forestville Flowage, is 9 mi to the east.
Early season rainbow trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 3 ft. Even in summer they hold at 1 to 3 ft; winter keeps them in 1 to 3 ft. Put Shoreline break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 1 ft that grades prime for winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 3 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (1 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 1 to 3 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (1 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 1 to 3 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (1 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 1 to 3 ft | dawn | Shoreline break (1 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Count 4 structure marks on this chart. The deepest, Shallow bay flat, sits near 3 ft.

Shoreline break is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 1 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in winter. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
For rainbow trout, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
