Fishing Awun Lake: what the data says
1,184-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 289 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Traced from the shoreline, Awun Lake runs 1,181 acres with 10.4 miles of edge. With a shoreline index of 2.2, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. 0% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water.
Coho Salmon fishing at Awun Lake
In spring, coho salmon run shallow here, mostly 3 to 25 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 30 to 70 ft before dropping to 20 to 60 ft for winter. Summer coho salmon concentrate at Deep basin, a good-rated deep basin around 246 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a dodger + fly or a medium spoon above the thermocline most summer days.
