501-acre lake near Okanogan County. The lake tops out around 140 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
The drawn water covers 501 acres wrapped in 4.3 miles of bank. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.4) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 23% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Tip to tip the water measures near 2 mi with a 0.6-mi widest point. It sits in Okanogan County. Palmer Lake sits 5 mi west — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring rainbow trout on Wannacut 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 8 to 40 ft. The chart's best answer is Main-lake point — point, 6 ft, prime for spring. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon.
