Fishing Badger Lake: what the data says
131-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 11403 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.
Traced from the shoreline, Badger Lake runs 131 acres with 3.3 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 2.1) — enough points and pockets to pattern. 0% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water.
Rainbow Trout fishing at Badger Lake
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 8 to 40 ft. Top water on the chart: Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in the 6-ft range, good in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon gets it done.
