Fishing Valerie Lake: what the data says
69-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 18 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Valerie Lake maps at 69 acres behind 1.3 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.1), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. 91% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water.
Rainbow Trout fishing at Valerie Lake
Early season rainbow trout use the shallows, holding in 5 to 18 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 5 to 18 ft, winter 4 to 18 ft.

Tie on a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon and you're in the game.
