Rating depth structure for brook trout.

111-acre lake in Fraser-Fort George Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 38 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
The drawn water covers 111 acres wrapped in 2.4 miles of bank. With a 1.6 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 74% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.7 mi with a 0.4-mi widest point. It sits in Fraser-Fort George Regional District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Morfee Lakes, is 4 mi to the southeast.
Spring brook trout on Gantahaz Lake hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 20 ft. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 17 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (10 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (17 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (10 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (17 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
