Rating depth structure for cutthroat trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
3-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 10 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Forslund Lake runs 3 acres with 0.6 miles of edge. An index of 2.4 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. The water lies in Capital Regional District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Ranger Lake, 1 mi east of here.
Come spring, look for cutthroat trout tight to the bank in 2 to 10 ft. Through summer count on 3 to 10 ft; the winter hold is 3 to 10 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 5 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner is the honest summer answer here.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
