119-acre lake near Lake County. The lake tops out around 105 ft. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Rabbit maps at 120 acres behind 3.1 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (2) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 38% of this chart, as modeled. End to end it runs roughly 0.8 mi, about 0.6 mi across. Lake County claims this one. Ester sits 1 mi east — the closest neighbouring chart.
Early season lake trout use the shallows, holding in 10 to 40 ft. Summer is a 32 to 105 ft game here, winter a 20 to 80 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 89 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger and you're in the game.
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 | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (26 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 32 to 105 ft chart-limited; documented 50 to 120 ft | dawn | Deep basin (89 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (26 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |

Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 25 to 70 ft. Summer is a 32 to 105 ft game here, winter a 15 to 60 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 89 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is after dark and midday. Tie on a heavy jig + cut bait and you're in the game.
