60-acre lake near Yakima County. The lake tops out around 35 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. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
On the chart, Wenas Lake draws 60 acres inside 1.3 miles of shoreline. At index 1.2 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 46% of this chart. Call it 0.6 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Yakima County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Yakima River, 9 mi east of here.
Spring puts rainbow trout in skinny water — 5 to 20 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 8 to 30 ft, wintering in 7 to 35 ft. Winter rainbow trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 11 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon covers the summer program.
