230-acre lake in Mount Waddington Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 136 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The outline encloses 230 acres, worked by 3.2 miles of shoreline. With a 1.5 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. Roughly 31% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 1 mi, about 0.7 mi across. Mount Waddington Regional District claims this one. Diane Lake sits 2 mi south — the closest neighbouring chart.
In spring, cutthroat trout run shallow here, mostly 3 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 35 ft, and winter fish settle into 10 to 40 ft. Main-lake point is the standout, a point at roughly 34 ft, rated prime for summer cutthroat trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (34 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |

Spring rainbow trout on Anutz Lake hold shallow, usually 5 to 20 ft. They move out to 8 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 8 to 40 ft. Put Main-lake point first on the milk run — a point near 34 ft that grades prime for fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
