Rating depth structure for largemouth bass.
Shared by DepthScout anglers. Exact spots stay private, always.
17-acre lake in Forest County, Wisconsin. The lake tops out around 6 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
On the chart, Wyman Lake draws 17 acres inside 0.7 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.2), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.3 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. The water lies in Forest County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Bradley Lake, 1 mi south of here.
In spring, largemouth bass run shallow here, mostly 1 to 6 ft. Summer keeps them at 2 to 6 ft, and they winter in 2 to 6 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a weed flat at roughly 3 ft, rated prime for spring largemouth bass. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 6 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Spinnerbait, Chatterbait |
| Summer | 2 to 6 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Texas-rigged 10" worm, Deep-diving crankbait |
| Fall | 2 to 6 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Squarebill crankbait (shad), Spinnerbait |
| Winter | 2 to 6 ft | midday | Shoreline break (3 ft) | Blade bait, Jigging spoon |
Count 4 structure marks on this chart. The deepest, Deep basin, sits near 5 ft.
