How to fish Spring Lake: shallow, weed-oriented water

Topping out around 25 feet, this is a shallow fishery where weed growth, not depth, structures the water. The contours still matter: the deepest hole concentrates fish in high summer and under ice, and subtle one-band depressions are the spots most anglers row straight past. In winter, shallow lakes like this are often first to make safe ice, and the deepest mapped hole is the classic starting point.

Ice fishing on Spring Lake

Shallow lakes like Spring Lake are usually among the first to make safe, fishable ice. The deepest mapped hole is the classic starting point because it concentrates fish once weed beds die back, and the subtle depressions on the map above are the spots most anglers walk straight past. Always verify ice thickness locally before walking out.
