6-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 25 ft. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
On the chart, Aleece Lake draws 6 acres inside 0.4 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.1 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 33% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. The water lies in Thompson-Nicola Regional District. For a second option, Finney Lake lies 1 mi southwest.
In spring, rainbow trout run shallow here, mostly 5 to 20 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 7 to 25 ft before dropping to 5 to 25 ft for winter. Winter rainbow trout concentrate at Shoreline break, a prime-rated drop-off around 11 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon most summer days.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (11 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 7 to 25 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (11 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 7 to 25 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Shoreline break (11 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 5 to 25 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Shoreline break (11 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Spring puts kokanee in skinny water — 8 to 25 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 8 to 25 ft, and winter fish hold in 6 to 25 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 21 ft, rated prime for spring kokanee. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger or a kokanee bug + corn covers the summer program.

Spring lake whitefish on Aleece Lake hold shallow, usually 8 to 25 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 8 to 25 ft in summer, 8 to 25 ft once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 21 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning. The summer box starts with a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon.

In spring, burbot run shallow here, mostly 8 to 25 ft. Summer keeps them at 8 to 25 ft, and they winter in 6 to 25 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 21 ft, rated prime for spring burbot. Time it for after dark and midday. You won't need more than a heavy jig + cut bait most summer days.

Aleece Lake is about 25 ft (8 m) deep at its deepest point. The contours here are modeled from the water's real shape and maximum depth, so treat them as a rough guide.
Anglers target rainbow trout, kokanee, lake whitefish, burbot on Aleece Lake. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 21 ft of water that rates prime for kokanee in spring. Scroll up to the map for the complete spot list by species and season.
For rainbow trout, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
