15-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 15 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
On the chart, Bog Lake draws 15 acres inside 0.6 miles of shoreline. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The water lies in Thompson-Nicola Regional District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: John Frank Lake, 2 mi southwest of here.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 15 ft. The depth story barely changes: 5 to 15 ft through summer, 2 to 15 ft in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 13 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
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 | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 5 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (13 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 2 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (13 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Start shallow in spring: rainbow trout sit in 4 to 15 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 4 to 15 ft covers summer, 3 to 15 ft covers winter. Top water on the chart: Shoreline break, a drop-off in the 7 ft range, prime in winter. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
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 | 4 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (7 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 4 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (7 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 4 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (7 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 3 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Shoreline break (7 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
4 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 13 ft, is the deepest of them.

Bog Lake is about 15 ft (5 m) deep at its deepest point. The contours here are modeled from the water's real shape and maximum depth, so treat them as a rough guide.
Anglers target brook trout, rainbow trout on Bog Lake.
Shoreline break is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 7 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in winter. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
For brook trout, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
