Rating depth structure for cutthroat trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
8-acre lake in Capital Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 38 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The outline encloses 8 acres, worked by 0.7 miles of shoreline. With a 1.8 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 57% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end. It sits in Capital Regional District. If the bite dies, Mitchell Lake is 1 mi to the west.
In spring, cutthroat trout run shallow here, mostly 3 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 35 ft before dropping to 10 to 38 ft for winter. Fall cutthroat trout concentrate at Main-lake point, a prime-rated point around 10 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (10 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (10 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (10 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 10 to 38 ft | dawn | Deep basin (32 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
Structure-wise the chart holds 2 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 32 ft.
