49-acre lake near Nevada County. The lake tops out around 19 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Feely Lake maps at 49 acres behind 1.4 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 75% of this chart, as modeled. Call it 0.6 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. It sits in Nevada County. Its nearest charted neighbour, Carr Lake, is 0 mi to the west.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 6 to 19 ft, then a winter hold in 3 to 19 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 16 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 6 to 19 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (16 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 19 ft | dawn | Deep basin (16 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
