Fishing Bonneau Lake: what the data says
43-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 25 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 43 acres wrapped in 1.2 miles of bank. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.4) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. Roughly 51% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives.
Rainbow Trout fishing at Bonneau Lake
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 5 to 20 ft. Expect a summer slide to 7 to 25 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 25 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 11 ft of water and rates prime come winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 7 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (11 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
