Rating depth structure for brook trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
9-acre lake near Cook County. The lake tops out around 11 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
On the chart, Peanut draws 9 acres inside 0.6 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.4 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi. You'll find it in Cook County. For a second option, Turnip lies 0 mi north.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 11 ft. Summer keeps them at 3 to 11 ft, and they winter in 2 to 11 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 9 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 11 ft chart-limited; documented 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 3 to 11 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (9 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 11 ft chart-limited; documented 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 2 to 11 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (9 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
