358-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 11 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Traced from the shoreline, Beaverdam Lake runs 357 acres with 3.9 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.5) — enough points and pockets to pattern. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. End to end it runs roughly 0.9 mi, about 0.9 mi across. You'll find it in Thompson-Nicola Regional District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Trurans Lake, 3 mi south of here.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 11 ft. Summer keeps them at 3 to 11 ft, and they winter in 2 to 11 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 9 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
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 | 1 to 11 ft chart-limited; documented 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 3 to 11 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (9 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 11 ft chart-limited; documented 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 2 to 11 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (9 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Spring puts rainbow trout in skinny water — 3 to 11 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 3 to 11 ft, and winter fish hold in 2 to 11 ft. Winter rainbow trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 5 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon covers the summer program.

Break off the point is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 5 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in winter. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For brook trout, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
