Rating depth structure for rainbow trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
322-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 243 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Devereux Lake maps at 321 acres behind 4.5 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.8) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 44% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Tip to tip the water measures near 1.8 mi with a 0.6-mi widest point. Mount Waddington Regional District claims this one. Laura Lake sits 3 mi northwest — the closest neighbouring chart.

Spring coho salmon on Devereux Lake hold shallow, usually 3 to 25 ft. By summer they slide out to 30 to 70 ft, and by winter most fish are in 20 to 60 ft. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + fly or a medium spoon above the thermocline.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Small orange dodger + peanut fly, Thin spoon (orange/silver) |
| Summer | 30 to 70 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Dodger + fly, Medium spoon above the thermocline |
| Fall | 8 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Casting spoon, Spinner (chartreuse) |
| Winter | 20 to 60 ft | midday | open water | Small spoon, slow troll |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: cutthroat trout in 3 to 15 ft. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 35 ft, wintering in 10 to 40 ft. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 10 to 40 ft | dawn | open water | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
Come spring, look for kokanee tight to the bank in 10 to 30 ft. They move out to 30 to 70 ft in summer and finish the year down in 20 to 80 ft. Best bite is early morning. A dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger or a kokanee bug + corn is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | open water | Small dodger + squid (pink), Wedding-ring spinner + corn |
| Summer | 30 to 70 ft | dawn | open water | Dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger, Kokanee bug + corn |
| Fall | 5 to 40 ft | dawn | open water | Dodger + squid (deeper red/purple), Small spoon |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | open water | Small glow jig + corn or maggot, Tiny spoon |
When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 5 to 20 ft. Summer is an 8 to 30 ft game here, winter an 8 to 40 ft one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 6 ft of water and rates good come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | open water | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
In spring, dolly varden run shallow here, mostly 1 to 30 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 2 to 40 ft, and winter fish settle into 8 to 45 ft. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small chrome spoon or a baitfish streamer most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 30 ft | dawn & midday | open water | Small silver spoon, Inline spinner |
| Summer | 2 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Small chrome spoon, Baitfish streamer |
| Fall | 1 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Small spinner, Egg or fry pattern |
| Winter | 8 to 45 ft | midday | open water | Small slow spoon, Weighted baitfish fly |
Spring sockeye salmon on Devereux Lake hold shallow, usually 5 to 70 ft. They move out to 3 to 80 ft in summer and finish the year down in 25 to 110 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 109 ft that grades prime for winter. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small red or pink fly behind a flasher or a compact squid or hoochie.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 70 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Small red or pink hoochie, Compact plankton-profile fly |
| Summer | 3 to 80 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (61 ft) | Small red or pink fly behind a flasher, Compact squid or hoochie |
| Fall | 2 to 55 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (61 ft) | Small bright fly, Compact spinner where legal |
| Winter | 25 to 110 ft | midday | Break off the point (109 ft) |
Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 207 ft.
