Rating depth structure for rainbow trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
66-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 34 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
The outline encloses 66 acres, worked by 2.3 miles of shoreline. With a 2 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. Roughly 68% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Figure 1 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. It sits in Cariboo Regional District. Gaspard Lake sits 5 mi southwest — the closest neighbouring chart.
Early season rainbow trout use the shallows, holding in 5 to 20 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 7 to 34 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 15 ft that grades prime for winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon and you're in the game.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (9 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (15 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 34 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (9 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 7 to 34 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (15 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |

Break off the point is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 15 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in winter. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every species and season.
For rainbow trout, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
