Fishing Kidney Lake: what the data says
64-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 91 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Traced from the shoreline, Kidney Lake runs 64 acres with 1.9 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.7) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Roughly 32% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives.
Rainbow Trout fishing at Kidney Lake
The spring pattern is a shallow one: rainbow trout in 5 to 20 ft. As the season builds they drop to 8 to 30 ft, wintering in 8 to 40 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 41-ft range, prime in winter. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon gets it done.
