Flats are the least interesting types of structure in a lake.
There are no breaks, holes, edges, and just flat bottom. But seemingly featureless flats hold most of the active walleyes during most yearly periods. With that definition there is always an exception. The exception in this case is the mud flats of Mille Lacs. On the flats, the weather has not as much of an impact as it does in shallow water.
