Rating depth structure for brook trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
21-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 52 ft. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Larix Lake maps at 21 acres behind 0.9 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 22% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Call it 0.3 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. It sits in East Kootenay Regional District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Grizzly Lake, is 0 mi to the northwest.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 23 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in 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 (13 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (23 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (23 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring bull trout on Larix Lake hold shallow, usually 10 to 40 ft. By summer they slide out to 16 to 52 ft, and by winter most fish are in 15 to 52 ft. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 44 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a trolled plug on downrigger or a heavy jigging spoon.
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 | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (23 ft) | Large jointed plug, 6" swimbait (kokanee/trout pattern) |
| Summer | 16 to 52 ft chart-limited; documented 30 to 90 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (44 ft) | Trolled plug on downrigger, Heavy jigging spoon |
| Fall | 5 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Large glide bait, Jointed plug |
| Winter | 15 to 52 ft chart-limited; documented 20 to 70 ft | dawn | Break off the point (23 ft) | Heavy spoon (slow lift), Large soft swimbait |
Spring puts dolly varden in skinny water — 1 to 30 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 2 to 40 ft; cold water stacks them in 8 to 45 ft. Main-lake point is the standout, a point at roughly 13 ft, rated prime for spring dolly varden. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A small chrome spoon or a baitfish streamer covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 30 ft | dawn & midday | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Small silver spoon, Inline spinner |
| Summer | 2 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Small chrome spoon, Baitfish streamer |
| Fall | 1 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (13 ft) | Small spinner, Egg or fry pattern |
| Winter | 8 to 45 ft | midday | Break off the point (23 ft) | Small slow spoon, Weighted baitfish fly |
