19-acre stocked lake in the Anchorage area. ADF&G sonar-surveyed water with stocked rainbow trout and 3 more species. The lake tops out around 20 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The drawn water covers 19 acres wrapped in 0.7 miles of bank. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 62% of this chart. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. It sits in Anchorage Borough. If the bite dies, Hillberg Lake is 1 mi to the southeast.
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 5 to 20 ft. Through summer count on 5 to 20 ft; the winter hold is 4 to 20 ft. Start at Shallow feeding flat. It's a feeding flat holding about 20 ft of water and rates good come spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (20 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow feeding flat (20 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 6 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |

Spring puts arctic char in skinny water — 4 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 6 to 20 ft, wintering in 5 to 20 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A jigging spoon vertical or a tube jig (smelt) covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small casting spoon (silver/orange), Jerkbait (small) |
| Summer | 6 to 20 ft | dawn | open water | Jigging spoon vertical, Tube jig (smelt) |

| Winter | 5 to 20 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring chinook salmon on Green Lake hold shallow, usually 3 to 20 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 6 to 20 ft in summer, 6 to 20 ft once it turns cold. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a flasher + fly (green/white) or a magnum spoon on downrigger.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Trolled spoon (orange/gold), Stickbait off planer boards |
| Summer | 6 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Flasher + fly (green/white), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 4 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | J-plug (glow), Flasher + fly |
| Winter | 6 to 20 ft | midday | open water | Small spoon on a slow troll, Stickbait deep |
Early season coho salmon use the shallows, holding in 2 to 20 ft. Even in summer they hold at 6 to 20 ft; winter keeps them in 6 to 20 ft. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + fly or a medium spoon above the thermocline and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Small orange dodger + peanut fly, Thin spoon (orange/silver) |
| Summer | 6 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Dodger + fly, Medium spoon above the thermocline |
| Fall | 4 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Casting spoon, Spinner (chartreuse) |
| Winter | 6 to 20 ft | midday | open water | Small spoon, slow troll |
