Fishing Green Lake: what the data says
465-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 132 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Green Lake maps at 464 acres behind 6.5 miles of shoreline. A development index of 2.2 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. Roughly 18% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives.
Kokanee fishing at Green Lake
Early season kokanee use the shallows, holding in 10 to 30 ft. Summer is a 30 to 70 ft game here, winter a 20 to 80 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 112 ft, good for spring. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger or a kokanee bug + corn and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Deep basin (112 ft) | Small dodger + squid (pink), Wedding-ring spinner + corn |
| Summer | 30 to 70 ft | dawn | Deep basin (112 ft) | Dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger, Kokanee bug + corn |
| Fall | 5 to 40 ft | dawn | open water | Dodger + squid (deeper red/purple), Small spoon |

Rainbow Trout fishing at Green Lake
Spring rainbow trout on Green Lake hold shallow, usually 5 to 20 ft. They move out to 8 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 8 to 40 ft.
