70-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 16 ft. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The outline encloses 70 acres, worked by 2.7 miles of shoreline. An index of 2.3 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. About 98% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The basin spans about 0.7 mi end to end and 0.4 mi across at its widest. It sits in Cariboo Regional District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Camacho Lake, is 1 mi to the west.
These fish are listed in an exact-water agency record as forage or ecological context. They are not target-species profiles and do not affect DepthScout's Prime, Good, or Fair spot ratings.

Early season rainbow trout use the shallows, holding in 4 to 16 ft. Even in summer they hold at 4 to 16 ft; winter keeps them in 3 to 16 ft. Put Main-lake point first on the milk run — a point near 8 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon and you're in the game.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
