  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. County-wide records name alewife, rock bass, white sucker and tessellated darter. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. At Bullhead Pond the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.
