Rating depth structure for rainbow trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
141-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 20 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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Drawn out, this is 141 acres of water rimmed by 2.4 miles of bank. At index 1.4 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Roughly 79% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Call it 0.8 mi long by 0.5 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District. The nearest mapped water is Mcdonell Lake, 2 mi to the east.
These fish are listed in an exact-water agency record as forage or ecological context. They are not target-species profiles and do not affect DepthScout's Prime, Good, or Fair spot ratings.
Official exact-water fish record. The listing documents source-recorded presence, not present abundance or guaranteed catchability.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: rainbow trout in 5 to 20 ft. The depth story barely changes: 5 to 20 ft through summer, 4 to 20 ft in winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 9 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in winter. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon gets it done.
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 | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 5 to 20 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (9 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 6 to 20 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 4 to 20 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (9 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
