15-acre lake near Avon. The lake tops out around 9 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. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Drawn out, this is 15 acres of water rimmed by 0.7 miles of bank. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi. The water lies in Capitol County. The nearest mapped water is Twin Lakes South, 0 mi to the southwest.
Start shallow in spring: rainbow trout sit in 2 to 9 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 2 to 9 ft covers summer, 2 to 9 ft covers winter. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 5 ft range, prime in winter. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
