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.
On the chart, Beaverdam Lake draws 357 acres inside 3.9 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.5) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 1 to 11 ft. Summer fish stay in 3 to 11 ft, and winter fish hold 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.
