16-acre lake in Lewis and Clark County, Montana. The lake tops out around 14 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The outline encloses 17 acres, worked by 0.7 miles of shoreline. Its 1.3 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. Call it 0.3 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. Lewis and Clark County claims this one. If the bite dies, Lake Otatsy is 1 mi to the southeast.
When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 4 to 14 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 4 to 14 ft, winter 3 to 14 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 13 ft of water and rates prime 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 | 4 to 14 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 4 to 14 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (13 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 4 to 14 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 3 to 14 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (13 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
3 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 14 ft, is the deepest of them.
