133-acre lake in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 20 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. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Drawn out, this is 133 acres of water rimmed by 2.8 miles of bank. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.7) — enough points and pockets to pattern. About 80% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The basin spans about 1 mi end to end and 0.5 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Pine Tree Lake, 1 mi northwest of here.
When the water first warms, cutthroat trout slide up into 3 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 6 to 20 ft, and by winter most fish are in 5 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 9 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 6 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (9 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 4 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 5 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (9 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
