174-acre lake near Woudsend. The lake tops out around 17 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The drawn water covers 174 acres wrapped in 3.6 miles of bank. With a 2 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. The basin spans about 1.1 mi end to end and 0.9 mi across at its widest. Witte en Zwarte Brekken sits 1 mi northwest — the closest neighbouring chart.
