Rating depth structure for rainbow trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
71-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 46 ft. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The drawn water covers 71 acres wrapped in 1.4 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 52% of this chart, as modeled. Figure 0.5 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. Peace River Regional District claims this one. Succour Lake sits 6 mi northwest — the closest neighbouring chart.

When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 5 to 20 ft. Summer is an 8 to 30 ft game here, winter an 8 to 40 ft one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 21 ft of water and rates prime come winter. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (12 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (21 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (12 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (21 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
In spring, lake whitefish run shallow here, mostly 15 to 45 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 14 to 46 ft before dropping to 14 to 46 ft for winter. Summer lake whitefish concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 39 ft. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon most summer days.
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 | 15 to 45 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (21 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 14 to 46 ft chart-limited; documented 40 to 90 ft | dawn | Deep basin (39 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dusk | Break off the point (21 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 14 to 46 ft chart-limited; documented 25 to 70 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (39 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Early season bull trout use the shallows, holding in 10 to 40 ft. Summer is a 14 to 46 ft game here, winter a 13 to 46 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 39 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a trolled plug on downrigger or a heavy jigging spoon and you're in the game.

| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (21 ft) | Large jointed plug, 6" swimbait (kokanee/trout pattern) |
| Summer | 14 to 46 ft chart-limited; documented 30 to 90 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (39 ft) | Trolled plug on downrigger, Heavy jigging spoon |
| Fall | 5 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (12 ft) | Large glide bait, Jointed plug |
| Winter | 13 to 46 ft chart-limited; documented 20 to 70 ft | dawn | Break off the point (21 ft) | Heavy spoon (slow lift), Large soft swimbait |
