Fishing Robison Lake: what the data says
100-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 30 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Robison Lake maps at 100 acres behind 1.8 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.3) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. About 63% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.

Spring rainbow trout on Robison Lake hold shallow, usually 5 to 20 ft. They move out to 8 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 6 to 30 ft.
