3,047-acre lake near Bird's Point. The lake tops out around 43 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Traced from the shoreline, Round runs 3,042 acres with 53.6 miles of edge, with 7 islands in the mix. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 6.9) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. 65% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. End to end it runs roughly 13.6 mi, about 2.4 mi across. The water lies in Division No. 5. The nearest mapped water is Crooked Lake, 19 mi to the west.
In spring, burbot run shallow here, mostly 13 to 43 ft. Summer keeps them at 13 to 43 ft, and they winter in 11 to 43 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 37 ft, rated prime for spring burbot. Time it for after dark and midday. You won't need more than a heavy jig + cut bait most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 13 to 43 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (37 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 13 to 43 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (37 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 13 to 43 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (37 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 11 to 43 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (37 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Start shallow in spring: channel catfish sit in 3 to 12 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 25 ft, and winter fish settle into 20 to 40 ft. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 37 ft of water that rates prime for channel catfish in winter. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and the evening.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | dusk | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | |
| Summer | 8 to 25 ft | night & dusk | Break off the point (19 ft) | |
| Fall | 10 to 30 ft | dusk | Break off the point (19 ft) | |
| Winter | 20 to 40 ft | midday | Deep basin (37 ft) |
Spring cisco (lake herring) on Round hold shallow, usually 10 to 40 ft. By summer they slide out to 13 to 43 ft, and by winter most fish are in 13 to 43 ft. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 37 ft, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (37 ft) | Small silver spoon, Tiny swim jig (white) |
| Summer | 13 to 43 ft | dawn | Deep basin (37 ft) | Vertical flutter spoon (small), Drop-shot micro plastic |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dusk & dawn | Rock reef (4 ft) | Small casting spoon, Inline spinner (silver) |
| Winter | 13 to 43 ft | dawn | Deep basin (37 ft) | Small jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + minnow head |
In spring, common carp run shallow here, mostly 2 to 10 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 3 to 15 ft before dropping to 10 to 30 ft for winter. Spring common carp concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 5 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | |
| Summer | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | |
| Fall | 5 to 18 ft | midday | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | |
| Winter | 10 to 30 ft | midday | Deep basin (37 ft) |
Spring lake whitefish on Round hold shallow, usually 13 to 43 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 13 to 43 ft in summer, 13 to 43 ft once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 37 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 13 to 43 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (19 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 13 to 43 ft | dawn | Deep basin (37 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dusk | Rock reef (4 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 13 to 43 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (37 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 2 to 8 ft. As the season builds they drop to 8 to 20 ft, wintering in 5 to 15 ft. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 5 ft range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (19 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
