Rating depth structure for rainbow trout.

18-acre lake near Jan Lake. The lake tops out around 26 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Drawn out, this is 18 acres of water rimmed by 0.7 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. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 36% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Figure 0.3 mi of water from one end to the other. You'll find it in Division No. 18. The nearest mapped water is Kistapiskaw Lake, 3 mi to the west.
In spring, rainbow trout run shallow here, mostly 5 to 20 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 7 to 26 ft, and winter fish settle into 5 to 26 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 12 ft, rated prime for winter rainbow trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon most summer days.
| 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 | 7 to 26 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (12 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 7 to 26 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 5 to 26 ft | dawn | Break off the point (12 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
3 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 22 ft, is the deepest of them.
