170-acre lake in Warrick County, Indiana. The lake tops out around 57 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The outline encloses 195 acres, worked by 4.3 miles of shoreline. With a shoreline index of 2.2, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. Roughly 59% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Call it 1.4 mi long by 0.4 mi wide at the broadest reach. Warrick County claims this one. Bluegrass Lake sits 1 mi north — the closest neighbouring chart.
Early season muskellunge use the shallows, holding in 3 to 12 ft. Summer is an 8 to 25 ft game here, winter a 15 to 35 ft one. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 7 ft, prime for fall. Best bite is the evening and early morning. Tie on a double-10 bucktail or a topwater (walk-the-dog / creeper) and you're in the game.
