10-acre pond in Florence County, Wisconsin. The lake tops out around 6 ft. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Woods Creek Pond maps at 10 acres behind 0.7 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. All of it is shallow-zone water — under ~15 ft across the entire basin, so the food chain has the run of the place. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end. It sits in Florence County. Its nearest charted neighbour, Price Lake, is 2 mi to the northwest.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 1 to 6 ft. Through summer count on 2 to 6 ft; the winter hold is 1 to 6 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 5 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.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 6 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (6 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 2 to 6 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (5 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 6 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (6 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 6 ft | dawn | Deep basin (5 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
