Rating depth structure for cutthroat trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
229-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 6 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Drawn out, this is 228 acres of water rimmed by 3.6 miles of bank. Index 1.7 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. The basin spans about 1.4 mi end to end and 0.6 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Burnie Lakes, 12 mi southwest of here.

Early season cutthroat trout use the shallows, holding in 1 to 6 ft. Even in summer they hold at 2 to 6 ft; winter keeps them in 2 to 6 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 3 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner and you're in the game.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
