23-acre lake near Sherburne County. The lake tops out around 5 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 season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Traced from the shoreline, Unnamed Lake (Sherburne County) runs 23 acres with 1 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.6) — enough points and pockets to pattern. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. The basin spans about 0.4 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Sherburne County. The nearest mapped water is Masford, 0 mi to the north.
When the water first warms, walleye slide up into 1 to 5 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 2 to 5 ft, winter 2 to 5 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 2 ft of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. Keep a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled) rigged through the warm months.
