36-acre lake near Lake Ketchum. The lake tops out around 21 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
The outline encloses 36 acres, worked by 1 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.2), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 75% of this chart. Figure 0.4 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. It sits in Snohomish County. If the bite dies, Sixteen Lake is 5 mi to the northeast.
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 5 to 20 ft. Expect a summer slide to 6 to 21 ft, then a winter hold in 4 to 21 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 8 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 (5 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 6 to 21 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (8 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 6 to 21 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 4 to 21 ft | dawn | Break off the point (8 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
5 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 21 ft, is the deepest of them.
