52-acre stocked lake in the Anchorage area. ADF&G sonar-surveyed water with stocked rainbow trout. The lake tops out around 23 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Drawn out, this is 52 acres of water rimmed by 1.3 miles of bank. At index 1.2 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 57% of this chart. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.5 mi with a 0.3-mi widest point. The water lies in Anchorage Borough. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Mirror Lake, 1 mi southwest of here.
Start shallow in spring: rainbow trout sit in 5 to 20 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 6 to 23 ft; cold water stacks them in 5 to 23 ft. Top water on the chart: Shallow feeding flat, a feeding flat in the 20 ft range, good in spring. 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 | Shallow feeding flat (20 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 6 to 23 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (20 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 7 to 23 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 5 to 23 ft | dawn | open water | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
