13-acre lake near Elko County. The lake tops out around 21 ft. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
The outline encloses 12 acres, worked by 0.5 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.1), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. 37% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. It sits in Elko County. Verdi Lake sits 30 mi southwest — the closest neighbouring chart.
When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 5 to 20 ft. By summer they slide out to 6 to 21 ft, and by winter most fish are in 4 to 21 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shoreline break: a drop-off around 9 ft that scores prime in winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (9 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 6 to 21 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (9 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 6 to 21 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (9 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 4 to 21 ft | dawn | Shoreline break (9 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 6 to 21 ft, then a winter hold in 3 to 20 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 18 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 6 to 21 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (18 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (18 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
