111-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 31 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Traced from the shoreline, Apollo Lake runs 111 acres with 2.7 miles of edge. Index 1.9 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. About 70% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 1.1 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.4 mi at the beam. You'll find it in Cariboo Regional District. For a second option, Deka Lake lies 1 mi southeast.
These fish are listed in an exact-water agency record as forage or ecological context. They are not target-species profiles and do not affect DepthScout's Prime, Good, or Fair spot ratings.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: rainbow trout in 5 to 20 ft. As the season builds they drop to 8 to 30 ft, wintering in 6 to 31 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 14 ft range, prime in winter. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon gets it done.
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 | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (14 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 9 to 31 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 6 to 31 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (14 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
