74-acre lake near Island County. The lake tops out around 17 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Drawn out, this is 74 acres of water rimmed by 1.3 miles of bank. Its 1.1 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. About 91% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 0.4 mi long by 0.4 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Island County. The nearest mapped water is Lake Goss, 1 mi to the northwest.
Start shallow in spring: rainbow trout sit in 4 to 17 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 5 to 17 ft covers summer, 3 to 17 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 12 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in winter. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
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 | 4 to 17 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (12 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 5 to 17 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (12 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 5 to 17 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (12 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |

Start shallow in spring: brown bullhead sit in 2 to 8 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 3 to 12 ft; cold water stacks them in 5 to 17 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 17 ft range, prime in winter. Fish it in after dark and the evening and you'll meet the bite.

| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Summer | 3 to 12 ft | night & dusk | Shallow bay flat (1 ft) | |

Spring puts largemouth bass in skinny water — 2 to 10 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 5 to 17 ft; cold water stacks them in 5 to 17 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 12 ft, rated prime for winter largemouth bass. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A texas-rigged 10" worm or a deep-diving crankbait covers the summer program.
