On the chart, Opasakita Lake 12 draws 35 acres inside 1.1 miles of shoreline. At index 1.3 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline.

Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 2 to 8 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 8 to 20 ft; cold water stacks them in 5 to 15 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 2 ft, rated prime for spring northern pike. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.
