6-acre lake near Greater London. The lake tops out around 5 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Drawn out, this is 6 acres of water rimmed by 0.4 miles of bank. A shoreline index of 1.3 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. You'll find it in Bromley. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Bough Beech Reservoir, 17 mi southeast of here.
Come spring, look for brown trout tight to the bank in 1 to 5 ft. Through summer count on 2 to 5 ft; the winter hold is 1 to 5 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 2 ft of water and rates good come summer. Prime time lands in after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) is the honest summer answer here.
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 | 1 to 5 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Summer | 2 to 5 ft chart-limited; documented 25 to 60 ft | night & dawn | Break off the point (2 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Fall | 1 to 5 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 30 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 1 to 5 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 35 ft | dawn | Break off the point (2 ft) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: european perch in 1 to 5 ft. The depth story barely changes: 1 to 5 ft through summer, 2 to 5 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 4 ft range, prime in fall. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) 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 | 1 to 5 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Summer | 1 to 5 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 28 ft | dawn | Deep basin (4 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Fall | 2 to 5 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 33 ft | midday | Deep basin (4 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 2 to 5 ft chart-limited; documented 12 to 33 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (4 ft) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Start shallow in spring: northern pike sit in 1 to 5 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 2 to 5 ft covers summer, 2 to 5 ft covers winter. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 2 ft range, prime in fall. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage 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 | 1 to 5 ft chart-limited; documented 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | open water | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 2 to 5 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (2 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 2 to 5 ft chart-limited; documented 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (2 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 2 to 5 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 15 ft | midday | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
Structure-wise the chart holds 3 features, led in depth by Main-lake point at roughly 5 ft.
Bromley Lower Lake is about 5 ft (2 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 brown trout, european perch, northern pike on Bromley Lower Lake. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 4 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in fall. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every species and season.
For brown trout, the summer bite is best in after dark and early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
