GUN LAKE FISH SHELTERS
37 locations - Barry and Allegan Counties, Michigan
Compiled July 2026 - ShorelineScout - shorelinescout.com

HOW GOOD IS THIS DATA
Read this part first, because it is weaker than our Torch Lake set.

These 37 positions come from the EGLE permit document (WRP034048, 2022).
Nobody has dived them, no survey has confirmed them, and there is no
recorded installation date. We do not know for certain that every
bundle went in, or that it is still where the paperwork says.

What the permit authorises is 75-111 natural woody debris bundles across
these 37 locations - roughly 2-5 per spot, in 10-15 ft of water.
111 is the ceiling, not a count. Treat each mark as "somewhere
around here there should be a brush pile".

WHICH FILE
  .gpx   Garmin, Humminbird APEX / SOLIX / XPLORE / ONIX, phone apps
  .usr   Lowrance, Simrad (USR version 4)
  .hwr   Humminbird HELIX

Copy the file onto an SD card, put the card in your unit, and use its
import or waypoint menu. If the unit can't see the file, move it out
of any folder so it sits on the card on its own.

WHAT'S DOWN THERE
Bundles of natural woody debris - brush and limbs, mixed material -
sunk in 10-15 ft. Permitted to the Gun Lake Protective Association - the volunteers who
have raised walleye on this lake since 1910 - under EGLE permit
WRP034048, approved 2022. The work is phased through summer 2027, so
this map is the approved plan, not a dive log: your sonar tells you
which sites have brush on them today.

ACCURACY
About +/-80 feet in any direction, same as our other sets. Idle over
the mark and read your sonar rather than expecting to drop straight
onto it. Because these were never field-verified, treat a blank screen
as "not here" rather than "the file is wrong" - and please tell us.

FOUND ONE THAT ISN'T THERE?
That is genuinely useful. pixelbayco@gmail.com
