24-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 8 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Traced from the shoreline, Ta Ta Lake runs 24 acres with 0.8 miles of edge. A shoreline index of 1.1 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 1 to 8 ft. Summer keeps them at 2 to 8 ft, and they winter in 1 to 8 ft. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 7 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 8 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 2 to 8 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (7 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 8 ft | dawn | Deep basin (7 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring cutthroat trout on Ta Ta Lake hold shallow, usually 2 to 8 ft. Even in summer they hold at 2 to 8 ft; winter keeps them in 2 to 8 ft. Put Shoreline break first on the milk run — a drop-off near 4 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a trolled spoon (small) or a inline spinner.

Start shallow in spring: rainbow trout sit in 2 to 8 ft that time of year. The depth story barely changes: 2 to 8 ft through summer, 2 to 8 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: Shoreline break, a drop-off in the 4-ft range, prime in winter. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
