108-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 11 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Traced from the shoreline, Bedingfield Lake runs 107 acres with 1.6 miles of edge. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.1) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. The basin spans about 0.6 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Cariboo Regional District. For a second option, Sneezie Lake lies 4 mi southwest.
These fish are listed in an exact-water agency record as forage or ecological context. They are not target-species profiles and do not affect DepthScout's Prime, Good, or Fair spot ratings.

The spring pattern is a shallow one: rainbow trout in 3 to 11 ft. The depth story barely changes: 3 to 11 ft through summer, 2 to 11 ft in winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 5 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in winter. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon gets it done.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
