35-acre lake in Comox Valley Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 28 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Battleship Lake maps at 35 acres behind 2.1 miles of shoreline. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 2.6) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. 91% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Figure 0.7 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. It sits in Comox Valley Regional District. If the bite dies, Lake Helen Mackenzie is 1 mi to the southwest.
Spring rainbow trout on Battleship Lake hold shallow, usually 5 to 20 ft. By summer they slide out to 7 to 28 ft, and by winter most fish are in 6 to 28 ft. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 6 ft, prime for winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (6 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 7 to 28 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (6 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 8 to 28 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (25 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 6 to 28 ft | dawn | Break off the point (6 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Battleship Lake carries 6 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 25 ft down.
