8-acre lake near Candle Lake. The lake tops out around 48 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Traced from the shoreline, Sapphire Lake runs 8 acres with 0.5 miles of edge. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 21% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. The water lies in Division No. 18. The nearest mapped water is Opal Lake, 0 mi to the northwest.
In spring, splake run shallow here, mostly 5 to 25 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 14 to 48 ft, and winter fish settle into 10 to 45 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 22 ft, rated prime for summer splake. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) most summer days.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (12 ft) | Small casting spoon (gold/orange), Inline spinner |
| Summer | 14 to 48 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (22 ft) | Trolled spoon at the thermocline, White tube jig (deep) |
