2,287-acre lake near Weyakwin. The lake tops out around 32 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Drawn out, this is 2,282 acres of water rimmed by 7.9 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.2), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. About 68% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 2.7 mi of water from one end to the other, 2 mi at the beam. The water lies in Division No. 16. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Elaine Lake, 8 mi north of here.
Spring lake whitefish on Wabeno Lake hold shallow, usually 10 to 32 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 10 to 32 ft in summer, 10 to 32 ft once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 27 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 32 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (14 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 10 to 32 ft | dawn | Deep basin (27 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dusk | Break off the point (14 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 10 to 32 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (27 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: northern pike in 2 to 8 ft. As the season builds they drop to 8 to 20 ft, wintering in 5 to 15 ft. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 4 ft range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (4 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (14 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (14 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Shallow bay flat (4 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
When the water first warms, walleye slide up into 4 to 15 ft. Summer is a 10 to 32 ft game here, winter a 10 to 32 ft one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 14 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.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | 1/8 oz jig + minnow, Hair jig |
| Summer | 10 to 32 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (14 ft) | Crawler harness on bottom bouncer, Deep crankbait (trolled) |
| Fall | 10 to 32 ft | dusk & night | Break off the point (14 ft) | Jigging rap, Jig + big minnow |
| Winter | 10 to 32 ft | dusk & dawn | Deep basin (27 ft) | Jigging spoon + minnow head, Rattle bait |
