8-acre lake near Ramsey County. The lake tops out around 28 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Loeb maps at 8 acres behind 0.4 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.1), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Roughly 28% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. It sits in Ramsey County. If the bite dies, Como is 1 mi to the west.
Start shallow in spring: walleye sit in 4 to 15 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 8 to 28 ft; cold water stacks them in 8 to 28 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 13 ft range, prime in fall. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) until the fish tell you otherwise.
