Rating depth structure for rainbow trout.

357-acre lake in Cariboo Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 10 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
On the chart, Brittany Lake draws 357 acres inside 8.3 miles of shoreline — one island included. An index of 3.1 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. All of it is shallow-zone water — under ~15 ft across the entire basin, so the food chain has the run of the place. Tip to tip the water measures near 1.5 mi with a 1.5-mi widest point. You'll find it in Cariboo Regional District. For a second option, Murray Taylor Lake lies 1 mi northwest.
Start shallow in spring: rainbow trout sit in 3 to 10 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 3 to 10 ft covers summer, 2 to 10 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 5 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in winter. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 3 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (5 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 3 to 10 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 2 to 10 ft | dawn | Break off the point (5 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
