530-acre lake near Pierce County. The lake tops out around 25 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Drawn out, this is 530 acres of water rimmed by 4.3 miles of bank. At index 1.3 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 61% of this chart. Figure 1.9 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.7 mi at the beam. You'll find it in Pierce County. For a second option, Clear Lake lies 2 mi north.
Start shallow in spring: rainbow trout sit in 5 to 20 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 7 to 25 ft, and winter fish settle into 5 to 25 ft. The spot to know is Old creek channel, a creek channel in about 17 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in summer. 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.
