62-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 31 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
On the chart, Lu Lake draws 62 acres inside 1.7 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.5) — enough points and pockets to pattern. About 72% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
Spring puts rainbow trout in skinny water — 5 to 20 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 8 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 6 to 31 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 14 ft, rated prime for winter rainbow trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (14 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 9 to 31 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 6 to 31 ft | dawn | Break off the point (14 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
