Rating depth structure for rainbow trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
68-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 33 ft. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The outline encloses 68 acres, worked by 1.8 miles of shoreline. With a 1.6 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. 67% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. Call it 0.7 mi long by 0.3 mi wide at the broadest reach. It sits in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District. If the bite dies, Tandat Lake is 1 mi to the southwest.
Spring rainbow trout on Tseket Lake hold shallow, usually 5 to 20 ft. By summer they slide out to 8 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 7 to 33 ft. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 15 ft, prime for winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon.
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 (8 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 | 9 to 33 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 7 to 33 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (15 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Early season kokanee use the shallows, holding in 10 to 30 ft. Expect a summer slide to 10 to 33 ft, then a winter hold in 8 to 33 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 28 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger or a kokanee bug + corn and you're in the game.

| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Deep basin (28 ft) | Small dodger + squid (pink), Wedding-ring spinner + corn |
| Summer | 10 to 33 ft chart-limited; documented 30 to 70 ft | dawn | Deep basin (28 ft) | Dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger, Kokanee bug + corn |
| Fall | 4 to 33 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 40 ft | dawn | Deep basin (28 ft) | Dodger + squid (deeper red/purple), Small spoon |
| Winter | 8 to 33 ft chart-limited; documented 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Deep basin (28 ft) | Small glow jig + corn or maggot, Tiny spoon |
Start shallow in spring: lake whitefish sit in 10 to 33 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 10 to 33 ft covers summer, 10 to 33 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 28 ft of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.

| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 33 ft chart-limited; documented 15 to 45 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (15 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 10 to 33 ft chart-limited; documented 40 to 90 ft | dawn | Deep basin (28 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dusk | Break off the point (15 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 10 to 33 ft chart-limited; documented 25 to 70 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (28 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
When the water first warms, burbot slide up into 10 to 33 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 10 to 33 ft, winter 8 to 33 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 28 ft that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and midday. Keep a heavy jig + cut bait rigged through the warm months.

Tseket Lake carries 6 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 28 ft down.

Tseket Lake is about 33 ft (10 m) deep at its deepest point. The contours here are modeled from the water's real shape and maximum depth, so treat them as a rough guide.
Anglers target rainbow trout, kokanee, lake whitefish, burbot on Tseket Lake. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 28 ft of water that rates prime for kokanee in spring. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
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.
