Rating depth structure for cutthroat trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
12-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 31 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The drawn water covers 12 acres wrapped in 0.5 miles of bank. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.1) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 26% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Central Kootenay Regional District claims this one. Kokanee Lake sits 3 mi northeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
Start shallow in spring: cutthroat trout sit in 3 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 9 to 31 ft, and winter fish settle into 8 to 31 ft. The spot to know is Shoreline break, a drop-off in about 14 ft of water that rates prime for cutthroat trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner until the fish tell you otherwise.
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 | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (14 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 9 to 31 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (14 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (14 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 8 to 31 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 40 ft | dawn | Shoreline break (14 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
