540-acre lake in Cariboo Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 11 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Traced from the shoreline, Abuntlet Lake runs 540 acres with 5.1 miles of edge, broken up by 2 islands. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.6) — enough points and pockets to pattern. All of it is shallow-zone water — under ~15 ft across the entire basin, so the food chain has the run of the place. Figure 1.8 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.8 mi at the beam. The water lies in Cariboo Regional District. The nearest mapped water is Poison Lakes, 3 mi to the north.
Spring puts rainbow trout in skinny water — 3 to 11 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 3 to 11 ft, and winter fish hold in 2 to 11 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 5 ft, rated prime for winter rainbow trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon covers the summer program.
