Rating depth structure for brook trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
7-acre lake near Lake County. The lake tops out around 4 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The outline encloses 7 acres, worked by 0.4 miles of shoreline. At index 1.2 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. It sits in Lake County. If the bite dies, Trappers is 1 mi to the southeast.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 1 to 4 ft. Through summer count on 1 to 4 ft; the winter hold is 1 to 4 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 3 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 4 ft chart-limited; documented 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 1 to 4 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (3 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 4 ft chart-limited; documented 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 4 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (3 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Count 3 structure marks on this chart. The deepest, Shallow bay flat, sits near 3 ft.
