Fishing Jack Lake: what the data says
78-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 58 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Traced from the shoreline, Jack Lake runs 78 acres with 2.5 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 2) — enough points and pockets to pattern. About 39% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
Cutthroat Trout fishing at Jack Lake
Early season cutthroat trout use the shallows, holding in 3 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 10 to 35 ft, then a winter hold in 10 to 40 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 26 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a trolled spoon (small) or a inline spinner and you're in the game.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (15 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
