58-acre lake in Coconino County, Arizona. The lake tops out around 27 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 58 acres wrapped in 3.2 miles of bank, with a single island in the mix. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 3) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. Roughly 75% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 1 mi, about 0.4 mi across. It sits in Coconino County. If the bite dies, Bear Canyon Lake is 5 mi to the east.
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 5 to 20 ft. Expect a summer slide to 7 to 27 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 27 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 12 ft of water and rates prime come winter. 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 | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 7 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (12 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 8 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 5 to 27 ft | dawn | Break off the point (12 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
