54-acre lake in Fraser-Fort George Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 33 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The drawn water covers 54 acres wrapped in 1.6 miles of bank, broken up by an island. A middling shoreline index (1.6) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. 53% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. The basin spans about 0.5 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. Fraser-Fort George Regional District claims this one. Nadsilnich Lake sits 7 mi southeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 5 to 20 ft. They move out to 8 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 7 to 33 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 15 ft that scores prime in winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (15 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 9 to 33 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 7 to 33 ft | dawn | Break off the point (15 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
