42-acre lake in Strathcona Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 34 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 42 acres wrapped in 1.7 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.9) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. About 45% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 0.6 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. Strathcona Regional District claims this one. If the bite dies, Kunlin Lake is 6 mi to the southeast.
Start shallow in spring: cutthroat trout sit in 3 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 34 ft, and winter fish settle into 9 to 34 ft. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 15 ft of water that rates prime for cutthroat trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (9 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 34 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (15 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (9 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 9 to 34 ft | dawn | Break off the point (15 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
When the water first warms, kokanee slide up into 10 to 30 ft. Summer is a 10 to 34 ft game here, winter a 9 to 34 ft one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 29 ft of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger or a kokanee bug + corn rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Deep basin (29 ft) | Small dodger + squid (pink), Wedding-ring spinner + corn |
| Summer | 10 to 34 ft | dawn | Deep basin (29 ft) | Dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger, Kokanee bug + corn |
| Fall | 4 to 34 ft | dawn | Deep basin (29 ft) | Dodger + squid (deeper red/purple), Small spoon |
| Winter | 9 to 34 ft | dawn | Deep basin (29 ft) | Small glow jig + corn or maggot, Tiny spoon |
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 34 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 (9 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 | 10 to 34 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (9 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 7 to 34 ft | dawn | Break off the point (15 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
