45-acre lake near Butler County. Nebraska Game and Parks Commission survey water. The lake tops out around 18 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The drawn water covers 45 acres wrapped in 1 miles of bank. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 81% of this chart. Figure 0.4 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. It sits in Butler County. Meadowlark Lake sits 9 mi south — the closest neighbouring chart.
When the water first warms, muskellunge slide up into 3 to 12 ft. By summer they slide out to 5 to 18 ft, and by winter most fish are in 5 to 18 ft.

Keep a double-10 bucktail or a topwater (walk-the-dog / creeper) rigged through the warm months.
