Rating depth structure for lake trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
15-acre lake near Cook County. The lake tops out around 48 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
The drawn water covers 15 acres wrapped in 0.6 miles of bank. A shoreline index of 1.1 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Roughly 19% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. It sits in Cook County. Its nearest charted neighbour, Thrasher, is 0 mi to the southeast.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 10 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 3 to 20 ft. Start at Shoreline break. It's a drop-off holding about 22 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (22 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Shoreline break (22 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring lake trout on Thrush hold shallow, usually 10 to 40 ft. By summer they slide out to 14 to 48 ft, and by winter most fish are in 12 to 48 ft. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 41 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger.
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 | Shoreline break (22 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 14 to 48 ft chart-limited; documented 50 to 120 ft | dawn | Deep basin (41 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 48 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Shoreline break (22 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 12 to 48 ft chart-limited; documented 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Deep basin (41 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
