42-acre lake near Reserve. The lake tops out around 25 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The drawn water covers 42 acres wrapped in 1.4 miles of bank. With a 1.5 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 52% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 0.4 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. It sits in Division No. 14. Its nearest charted neighbour, Saginas Lake, is 4 mi to the north.
Spring rainbow trout on Bill's Lake hold shallow, usually 5 to 20 ft. By summer they slide out to 7 to 25 ft, and by winter most fish are in 5 to 25 ft. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 11 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.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 7 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (11 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 7 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 5 to 25 ft | dawn | Break off the point (11 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
