135-acre lake near Cook County. The lake tops out around 37 ft. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Drawn out, this is 136 acres of water rimmed by 3.3 miles of bank. Index 2 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 72% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. End to end it runs roughly 0.9 mi, about 0.6 mi across. The water lies in Cook County. The nearest mapped water is Pine, 1 mi to the south.
Spring walleye on West Twin hold shallow, usually 4 to 15 ft. They move out to 15 to 35 ft in summer and finish the year down in 11 to 37 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 17 ft that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. The summer box starts with a crawler harness on bottom bouncer or a deep crankbait (trolled).
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
