Rating depth structure for rainbow trout.

29-acre lake near Itasca County. The lake tops out around 33 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
The outline encloses 29 acres, worked by 1.2 miles of shoreline. With a 1.5 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 66% of this chart, as modeled. Figure 0.5 mi of water from one end to the other. It sits in Itasca County. Its nearest charted neighbour, Moonshine, is 1 mi to the east.
Spring rainbow trout on Bee Cee hold shallow, usually 5 to 20 ft. By summer they slide out to 8 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 7 to 33 ft. The chart's best answer is Shoreline break — drop-off, 15 ft, prime for winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (15 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (15 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 9 to 33 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (15 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 7 to 33 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Shoreline break (15 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Start shallow in spring: rock bass sit in 2 to 10 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 5 to 20 ft, and winter fish settle into 12 to 30 ft. The spot to know is Shoreline break, a drop-off in about 15 ft of water that rates prime for rock bass in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around the evening. Throw a ned rig (small) or a marabou jig until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | midday & dawn | open water | 1/16 oz jig + grub, Small inline spinner |
| Summer | 5 to 20 ft | dusk | Shoreline break (15 ft) | Ned rig (small), Marabou jig |
| Fall | 8 to 22 ft | midday | Shoreline break (15 ft) | Small tube jig, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 12 to 30 ft | midday | Deep basin (28 ft) | Tungsten jig + plastic, Small spoon + spike |
Structure-wise the chart holds 4 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 28 ft.
