Wheaton Lake is a lake in Rolette County, North Dakota, and covers about 60.4 acres, reaches about 25.6 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 759.7 acre-feet.
At Wheaton Lake, a point, weed edge, or small drop is more important than simply covering the whole shoreline.
Fish listed for Wheaton Lake include Walleye, and Yellow Perch.
On this 60.4-acre water, try this for walleye: work a jig and minnow, a live-bait rig, or a small crankbait along points and the first drop.
Near the 25.6-foot deep point, try this for yellow perch: keep a small jig tipped with a minnow or worm close to the bottom on a flat beside deeper water.
While working this small, open lake in Rolette County, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
While checking this small, open lake in Rolette County, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
At Wheaton Lake, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
At Wheaton Lake, record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
