18-acre lake near Lake Holm. The lake tops out around 31 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Lake Holm runs 18 acres with 0.8 miles of edge. Its 1.4 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. About 30% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.4 mi. You'll find it in King County. For a second option, Lake Sawyer lies 5 mi northeast.
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 6 to 31 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 24 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.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (12 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (24 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 9 to 31 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (12 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 6 to 31 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (24 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
In spring, largemouth bass run shallow here, mostly 2 to 10 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 20 ft before dropping to 9 to 31 ft for winter. Spring largemouth bass concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a prime-rated weed flat around 5 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait most summer days.
