246-acre lake in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 30 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Traced from the shoreline, Bungalow Lake runs 246 acres with 4.1 miles of edge, broken up by an island. Index 1.9 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. About 58% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The basin spans about 1.4 mi end to end and 0.5 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District. The nearest mapped water is Triangle Lake, 4 mi to the west.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: rainbow trout in 5 to 20 ft. As the season builds they drop to 8 to 30 ft, wintering in 6 to 30 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 14 ft range, prime in winter. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon gets it done.
| 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 | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (14 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 9 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 6 to 30 ft | dawn | Break off the point (14 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
