50-acre lake in East Kootenay Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 27 ft. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Lake Enid maps at 50 acres behind 1.5 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. About 61% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 0.4 mi long by 0.4 mi wide at the broadest reach. East Kootenay Regional District claims this one. If the bite dies, Lillian Lake is 3 mi to the southeast.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. Summer is an 8 to 27 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 23 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 27 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (23 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (12 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 5 to 20 ft. They move out to 7 to 27 ft in summer and finish the year down in 5 to 27 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 12 ft that scores prime in winter. Best bite is 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) |
Lake Enid carries 6 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 23 ft down.
