107-acre lake in Cariboo Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 14 ft. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The outline encloses 114 acres, worked by 2.2 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. The basin spans about 0.8 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. Cariboo Regional District claims this one. If the bite dies, Watson Lake is 2 mi to the northwest.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 14 ft. Through summer count on 4 to 14 ft; the winter hold is 2 to 14 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 12 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 14 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 4 to 14 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (12 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 14 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 2 to 14 ft | dawn | Deep basin (12 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
