Rating depth structure for rainbow trout.
Shared by DepthScout anglers. Exact spots stay private, always.
94-acre lake near Greig Lake. The lake tops out around 32 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The outline encloses 94 acres, worked by 2 miles of shoreline. Its 1.4 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Roughly 71% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.8 mi with a 0.3-mi widest point. Division No. 17 claims this one. Matheson Lake sits 2 mi west — the closest neighbouring chart.
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 5 to 20 ft. They move out to 8 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 6 to 32 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 14 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 | 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 (14 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 9 to 32 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 6 to 32 ft | dawn | Break off the point (14 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
