Rating depth structure for rainbow trout.

11-acre lake in Capital Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 14 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Pixie Lake runs 11 acres with 0.6 miles of edge. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. You'll find it in Capital Regional District. For a second option, Lizard Lake lies 1 mi northwest.
Spring puts rainbow trout in skinny water — 4 to 14 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 4 to 14 ft, and winter fish hold in 3 to 14 ft. Winter rainbow trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 6 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 14 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 4 to 14 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (6 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 4 to 14 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 3 to 14 ft | dawn | Break off the point (6 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
