Rating depth structure for cutthroat trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
39-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 41 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The outline encloses 39 acres, worked by 1.2 miles of shoreline. At index 1.3 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Roughly 95% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 0.5 mi, about 0.2 mi across. East Kootenay Regional District claims this one. If the bite dies, Cerulean Lake is 2 mi to the east.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: cutthroat trout in 3 to 15 ft. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 35 ft, wintering in 10 to 40 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 17 ft range, prime in winter. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (1 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (1 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (1 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 10 to 40 ft | dawn | Deep basin (17 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
Count 4 structure marks on this chart. The deepest, Deep basin, sits near 17 ft.
