18-acre lake near Mammoth Lakes. The lake tops out around 110 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
On the chart, Edith Lake draws 18 acres inside 0.6 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.1 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. 5% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Genevieve Lake, 0 mi northeast of here.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a feeding flat at roughly 6 ft, rated good for spring brook trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
