30-acre lake in Mount Waddington Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 55 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Drawn out, this is 30 acres of water rimmed by 1.1 miles of bank. Index 1.5 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 94% of this chart. End to end it runs roughly 0.4 mi, about 0.2 mi across. You'll find it in Mount Waddington Regional District. The nearest mapped water is Three Isle Lake, 1 mi to the south.
Early season cutthroat trout use the shallows, holding in 3 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 10 to 35 ft, then a winter hold in 10 to 40 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 37 ft that grades prime for winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (1 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 10 to 40 ft | dawn | Deep basin (37 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
Structure-wise the chart holds 5 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 37 ft.
