Fishing Coconino Lake: what the data says
525-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 108 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Coconino Lake maps at 524 acres behind 4.4 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. About 41% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
Northern Pike fishing at Coconino Lake
When the water first warms, northern pike slide up into 2 to 8 ft. Summer is a 8 to 20 ft game here, winter a 5 to 15 ft one. Start at Shallow bay flat. It's a weed flat holding about 6 ft of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
