3,169-acre lake near Jan Lake. The lake tops out around 21 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The outline encloses 3,162 acres, worked by 50.9 miles of shoreline, broken up by 43 islands. The 6.5 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. About 89% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 4.7 mi of water from one end to the other, 3.7 mi at the beam. It sits in Division No. 18. If the bite dies, Winteringham Lake is 6 mi to the northeast.
When the water first warms, burbot slide up into 6 to 21 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 6 to 21 ft, winter 5 to 21 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 18 ft that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and midday. Keep a heavy jig + cut bait rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 6 to 21 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (18 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 6 to 21 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (18 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 6 to 21 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (18 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 5 to 21 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (18 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Start shallow in spring: cisco (lake herring) sit in 5 to 21 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 6 to 21 ft covers summer, 6 to 21 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 18 ft of water that rates prime for cisco (lake herring) in spring. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 21 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (18 ft) | Small silver spoon, Tiny swim jig (white) |
| Summer | 6 to 21 ft | dawn | Deep basin (18 ft) | Vertical flutter spoon (small), Drop-shot micro plastic |
| Fall | 4 to 21 ft | dusk & dawn | Gravel shoal (3 ft) | Small casting spoon, Inline spinner (silver) |
| Winter | 6 to 21 ft | dawn | Deep basin (18 ft) | Small jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + minnow head |
Start shallow in spring: lake whitefish sit in 6 to 21 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 6 to 21 ft covers summer, 6 to 21 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 18 ft of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 6 to 21 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (9 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 6 to 21 ft | dawn | Deep basin (18 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 6 to 21 ft | dusk | Gravel shoal (3 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 6 to 21 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (18 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 2 to 8 ft. Summer is an 8 to 20 ft game here, winter a 5 to 15 ft one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 3 ft of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (9 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (9 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Feeding flat (7 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
In spring, walleye run shallow here, mostly 4 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 6 to 21 ft before dropping to 6 to 21 ft for winter. Fall walleye concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 9 ft. Fish it in the evening and early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Gravel shoal (3 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |
| Summer | 6 to 21 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (9 ft) | Crawler harness on bottom bouncer, Deep crankbait (trolled) |
| Fall | 6 to 21 ft | dusk & night | Break off the point (9 ft) | Jigging rap, Jig + big minnow |
| Winter | 6 to 21 ft | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (18 ft) | Jigging spoon + minnow head, Rattle bait |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: yellow perch in 3 to 12 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 6 to 21 ft before dropping to 6 to 21 ft for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for yellow perch in spring. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Summer | 6 to 21 ft | dawn | Deep basin (18 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Fall | 6 to 21 ft | midday | Deep basin (18 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
| Winter | 6 to 21 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (18 ft) | Tungsten jig + spikes, Rattle spoon (small) |
