Fishing Hoover Lake: what the data says
48-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 25 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The drawn water covers 48 acres wrapped in 1.4 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. 46% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water.
Rainbow Trout fishing at Hoover Lake
When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 5 to 20 ft. Summer is a 7 to 25 ft game here, winter a 5 to 25 ft one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 11 ft of water and rates prime come winter. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon rigged through the warm months.
