55-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 76 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Canoe Lake maps at 55 acres behind 2.6 miles of shoreline. The 2.5 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 57% of this chart, as modeled. The basin spans about 1.2 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. Thompson-Nicola Regional District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Onion Lake, is 4 mi to the southwest.

Spring rainbow trout on Canoe Lake hold shallow, usually 5 to 20 ft. They move out to 8 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 8 to 40 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 34 ft that grades prime for winter. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon.
