Rating depth structure for rainbow trout.

13-acre lake in Langlade County, Wisconsin. The lake tops out around 3 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Drawn out, this is 13 acres of water rimmed by 0.8 miles of bank. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.6) — enough points and pockets to pattern. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. Figure 0.3 mi of water from one end to the other. The water lies in Langlade County. For a second option, Kennedy Lake lies 1 mi northwest.
In spring, rainbow trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 3 ft. Summer keeps them at 1 to 3 ft, and they winter in 1 to 3 ft. Winter rainbow trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 1 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 3 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 1 to 3 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (1 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 1 to 3 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 1 to 3 ft | dawn | Break off the point (1 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |

Break off the point is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 1 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in winter. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each species and season.
