Fishing Cameron Lake: what the data says
18-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 11 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Traced from the shoreline, Cameron Lake runs 18 acres with 0.7 miles of edge. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout.
Rainbow Trout fishing at Cameron Lake
Start shallow in spring: rainbow trout sit in 3 to 11 ft that time of year. Even in summer they hold at 3 to 11 ft; winter keeps them in 2 to 11 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 5-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.
