19-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 13 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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The outline encloses 19 acres, worked by 0.8 miles of shoreline. At index 1.3 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.3 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. It sits in Cariboo Regional District. If the bite dies, Cambaceres Lake is 1 mi to the east.
When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 3 to 13 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 3 to 13 ft, winter 3 to 13 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 6 ft that scores prime in winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon rigged through the warm months.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
