105-acre lake in Comox Valley Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 33 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The drawn water covers 105 acres wrapped in 2.1 miles of bank. With a 1.5 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 88% of this chart. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.7 mi with a 0.5-mi widest point. It sits in Comox Valley Regional District. Blue Grouse Lake sits 3 mi southeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring puts cutthroat trout in skinny water — 3 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 9 to 33 ft; cold water stacks them in 8 to 33 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 28 ft, rated prime for winter cutthroat trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 9 to 33 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (1 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 8 to 33 ft | dawn | Deep basin (28 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
Early season rainbow trout use the shallows, holding in 5 to 20 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 7 to 33 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 28 ft that grades prime for winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
