17-acre lake in Comox Valley Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 49 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Traced from the shoreline, Netuts Lake runs 17 acres with 0.9 miles of edge. Index 1.5 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. About 36% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 0.3 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. You'll find it in Comox Valley Regional District. The nearest mapped water is Pearse Lake, 1 mi to the east.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: rainbow trout in 5 to 20 ft. As the season builds they drop to 8 to 30 ft, wintering in 8 to 40 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 22 ft range, prime in winter. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (12 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (22 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (12 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (22 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
