115-acre lake near Webb. The lake tops out around 50 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. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
The drawn water covers 120 acres wrapped in 2.3 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. About 12% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 0.6 mi long by 0.5 mi wide at the broadest reach. Its nearest charted neighbour, Fourth Lake, is 2 mi to the south.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 29 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
