124-acre lake near ᐑᐳᐢᑳᐏ ᓵᑲᐦᐃᑲᓂᕽ Brabant Lake. The lake tops out around 62 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Traced from the shoreline, Slushy Lake runs 124 acres with 3.3 miles of edge — 3 islands included. Index 2.1 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. 53% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 0.7 mi long by 0.6 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Division No. 18. For a second option, Broeder Lake lies 1 mi northeast.
Start shallow in spring: burbot sit in 19 to 62 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 19 to 62 ft covers summer, 15 to 60 ft covers winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 53 ft range, prime in spring. Fish it in after dark and midday and you'll meet the bite. Throw a heavy jig + cut bait until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 19 to 62 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (53 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 19 to 62 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (53 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 19 to 62 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (53 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 15 to 60 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (53 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Start shallow in spring: lake trout sit in 10 to 40 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 19 to 62 ft; cold water stacks them in 16 to 62 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 53 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. Throw a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (16 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 19 to 62 ft | dawn | Deep basin (53 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (16 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 16 to 62 ft | dawn | Deep basin (53 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Spring puts northern pike in skinny water — 2 to 8 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 8 to 20 ft; cold water stacks them in 5 to 15 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 6 ft, rated prime for spring northern pike. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
