Rating depth structure for rainbow trout.

10-acre stocked lake in the Anchorage area. ADF&G sonar-surveyed water with stocked rainbow trout and 3 more species. The lake tops out around 17 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The outline encloses 10 acres, worked by 0.6 miles of shoreline. Its 1.4 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Roughly 87% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end. It sits in Anchorage Borough. Sand Lake sits 2 mi east — the closest neighbouring chart.
Early season rainbow trout use the shallows, holding in 4 to 17 ft. Even in summer they hold at 5 to 17 ft; winter keeps them in 3 to 17 ft. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon and you're in the game.
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 17 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 5 to 17 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 5 to 17 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 3 to 17 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 40 ft | dawn | open water | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: arctic char in 4 to 15 ft. As the season builds they drop to 5 to 17 ft, wintering in 4 to 17 ft. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) gets it done.

| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Summer | 5 to 17 ft chart-limited; documented 20 to 60 ft | dawn | open water | Jigging spoon vertical, Tube jig (smelt) |
| Fall | 5 to 17 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 30 ft | midday & dusk | open water | Casting spoon (orange/gold), Beadhead streamer |
| Winter | 4 to 17 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 40 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
When the water first warms, chinook salmon slide up into 2 to 17 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 5 to 17 ft, winter 5 to 17 ft. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a flasher + fly (green/white) or a magnum spoon on downrigger rigged through the warm months.

When the water first warms, coho salmon slide up into 2 to 17 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 5 to 17 ft, winter 5 to 17 ft. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + fly or a medium spoon above the thermocline rigged through the warm months.
