38-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 22 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Traced from the shoreline, Couture Lake runs 38 acres with 1.6 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.9) — enough points and pockets to pattern. About 77% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
Start shallow in spring: rainbow trout sit in 5 to 20 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 6 to 22 ft; cold water stacks them in 4 to 22 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 10-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.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 6 to 22 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (10 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 6 to 22 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 4 to 22 ft | dawn | Break off the point (10 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
