6-acre lake in Price County, Wisconsin. The lake tops out around 15 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 6 acres wrapped in 0.9 miles of bank. With a shoreline index of 2.7, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage.

Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 13 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
