Rating depth structure for rainbow trout.

9-acre lake near Candle Lake. The lake tops out around 29 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Drawn out, this is 9 acres of water rimmed by 0.6 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not 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. For a second option, Ispuchaw Lake lies 1 mi southwest.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: rainbow trout in 5 to 20 ft. As the season builds they drop to 8 to 29 ft, wintering in 6 to 29 ft. Top water on the chart: Shoreline break, a drop-off in the 13 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 | Shoreline break (13 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 29 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (13 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 8 to 29 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (13 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 6 to 29 ft | dawn | Shoreline break (13 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: splake in 5 to 25 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 9 to 29 ft before dropping to 6 to 29 ft for winter. The spot to know is Shoreline break, a drop-off in about 13 ft of water that rates prime for splake in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (13 ft) | Small casting spoon (gold/orange), Inline spinner |
| Summer | 9 to 29 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (13 ft) | Trolled spoon at the thermocline, White tube jig (deep) |
| Fall | 8 to 29 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (13 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait |
| Winter | 6 to 29 ft | dawn | Shoreline break (13 ft) | Jigging spoon tipped with minnow head, Small white tube |
