Rating depth structure for rainbow trout.

67-acre lake in Cariboo Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 14 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The drawn water covers 67 acres wrapped in 1.5 miles of bank. At index 1.3 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. All of it is shallow-zone water — under ~15 ft across the entire basin, so the food chain has the run of the place. Figure 0.6 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.4 mi at the beam. Cariboo Regional District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Pelican Lake, is 1 mi to the south.
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 4 to 14 ft. Through summer count on 4 to 14 ft; the winter hold is 3 to 14 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 6 ft that scores prime in winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| 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) |
6 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 12 ft, is the deepest of them.
