10-acre lake in East Kootenay Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 15 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The outline encloses 10 acres, worked by 0.6 miles of shoreline. At index 1.4 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Figure 0.3 mi of water from one end to the other. East Kootenay Regional District claims this one. If the bite dies, Lund Lake is 3 mi to the southwest.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 5 to 15 ft, winter 2 to 15 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 13 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm 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 | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 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 | Main-lake point (8 ft) | 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 |
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 4 to 15 ft. Through summer count on 4 to 15 ft; the winter hold is 3 to 15 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 7 ft that scores prime in winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.

| Summer | 4 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (7 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 4 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 3 to 15 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (7 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
3 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 13 ft, is the deepest of them.

Bronze 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 Bronze Lake.
Break off the point is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 7 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in winter. Open the map above to see every rated spot for each 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.
