Rating depth structure for rainbow trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
14-acre lake in Capital Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 37 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The outline encloses 14 acres, worked by 1 miles of shoreline. With a 1.9 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. About 52% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 0.3 mi long. Capital Regional District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Grass Lake, is 1 mi to the south.
Spring puts cutthroat trout in skinny water — 3 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 35 ft, wintering in 9 to 37 ft. Summer cutthroat trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 17 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (9 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (17 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (9 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 9 to 37 ft | dawn | Break off the point (17 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
Early season rainbow trout use the shallows, holding in 5 to 20 ft. Summer is an 8 to 30 ft game here, winter a 7 to 37 ft one. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 17 ft, prime for winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |

| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (9 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 7 to 37 ft | dawn | Break off the point (17 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
