Rating depth structure for cutthroat trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
11-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 17 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The outline encloses 11 acres, worked by 0.5 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.1 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Roughly 61% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. East Kootenay Regional District claims this one. Frozen Lake sits 1 mi west — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring puts cutthroat trout in skinny water — 3 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 5 to 17 ft, wintering in 4 to 17 ft. Summer cutthroat trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 8 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner covers the summer program.
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 | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 5 to 17 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (8 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 3 to 17 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 4 to 17 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (8 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
