Rating depth structure for rainbow trout.

6-acre lake in Capital Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 19 ft. The depth chart comes from British Columbia Fish and Wildlife Branch bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
The drawn water covers 6 acres wrapped in 0.5 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Capital Regional District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Young Lake, is 2 mi to the southwest.
When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 5 to 19 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 5 to 19 ft, winter 4 to 19 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 3 ft of water and rates good come winter. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon rigged through the warm months.
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 19 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 5 to 19 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (3 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 5 to 19 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (10 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 4 to 19 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (3 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Spring coho salmon on Boneyard Lake hold shallow, usually 2 to 19 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 6 to 19 ft in summer, 6 to 19 ft once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 10 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + fly or a medium spoon above the thermocline.
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 19 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (2 ft) | Small orange dodger + peanut fly, Thin spoon (orange/silver) |
| Summer | 6 to 19 ft chart-limited; documented 30 to 70 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (10 ft) | Dodger + fly, Medium spoon above the thermocline |
| Fall | 4 to 19 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (3 ft) | Casting spoon, Spinner (chartreuse) |
| Winter | 6 to 19 ft chart-limited; documented 20 to 60 ft | midday | Deep basin (10 ft) | Small spoon, slow troll |

Boneyard Lake is about 19 ft (6 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from British Columbia Fish and Wildlife Branch bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Anglers target rainbow trout, coho salmon on Boneyard Lake.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 10 ft of water that rates prime for coho salmon in summer. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each species and season.
For rainbow 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.
