108-acre lake in Stikine Region, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 65 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
On the chart, Allan Lake draws 108 acres inside 4.5 miles of shoreline. With a shoreline index of 3.1, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 65% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 1 mi end to end and 0.4 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in Stikine Region. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Mcdame Lake, 4 mi southwest of here.
Early season lake whitefish use the shallows, holding in 15 to 45 ft. Summer is a 20 to 65 ft game here, winter a 20 to 65 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 55 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 15 to 45 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (29 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 20 to 65 ft | dawn | Deep basin (55 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dusk | Break off the point (29 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 20 to 65 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (55 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
