Rating depth structure for cutthroat trout.
Shared by DepthScout anglers. Exact spots stay private, always.
140-acre reservoir near Owyhee. The lake tops out around 9 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The outline encloses 136 acres, worked by 3.1 miles of shoreline. With a 1.9 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. End to end it runs roughly 1 mi, about 0.5 mi across. It sits in Owyhee County. Its nearest charted neighbour, Dry Creek Reservoir, is 35 mi to the south.
In spring, cutthroat trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 9 ft. Summer keeps them at 3 to 9 ft, and they winter in 2 to 9 ft. Summer cutthroat trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 4 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 3 to 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (4 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 2 to 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 2 to 9 ft | dawn | Break off the point (4 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
