31-acre lake in Central Kootenay Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 85 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 31 acres wrapped in 1 miles of bank. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.3) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 49% of this chart. End to end it runs roughly 0.4 mi, about 0.2 mi across. Central Kootenay Regional District claims this one. If the bite dies, Mosquito Lake is 1 mi to the south.
Spring rainbow trout on Little Mosquito Lake hold shallow, usually 5 to 20 ft. They move out to 8 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 8 to 40 ft.

The summer box starts with a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (15 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
