147-acre lake in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 23 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Drawn out, this is 147 acres of water rimmed by 3.3 miles of bank. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.9) — enough points and pockets to pattern. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 80% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Call it 1.5 mi long by 0.3 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District. For a second option, Ormond Lake lies 5 mi south.
In spring, rainbow trout run shallow here, mostly 5 to 20 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 6 to 23 ft, and winter fish settle into 5 to 23 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 10 ft, rated prime for winter rainbow trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon most summer days.
