25-acre lake in Capital Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 23 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. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
On the chart, Bullocks Lake draws 25 acres inside 0.8 miles of shoreline. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 61% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.3 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. You'll find it in Capital Regional District. For a second option, St. Mary Lake lies 2 mi northwest.
Early season cutthroat trout use the shallows, holding in 3 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 7 to 23 ft, then a winter hold in 6 to 23 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 10 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner and you're in the game.
