Rating depth structure for rainbow trout.

10-acre lake in Capital Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 21 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The outline encloses 10 acres, worked by 0.5 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. 92% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Capital Regional District claims this one. Durrance Lake sits 1 mi east — the closest neighbouring chart.
In spring, cutthroat trout run shallow here, mostly 3 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 6 to 21 ft, and winter fish settle into 5 to 21 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 9 ft, rated prime for summer cutthroat trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 6 to 21 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (9 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 4 to 21 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (3 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 5 to 21 ft | dawn | Break off the point (9 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
