23-acre lake in Columbia-Shuswap Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 19 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. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
The outline encloses 23 acres, worked by 0.9 miles of shoreline. Its 1.3 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. About 92% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 0.4 mi long. It sits in Columbia-Shuswap Regional District. If the bite dies, Aid Lake is 2 mi to the northwest.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 6 to 19 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 19 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 16 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 6 to 19 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (16 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 19 ft | dawn | Deep basin (16 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 6 to 19 ft. Even in summer they hold at 6 to 19 ft; winter keeps them in 5 to 19 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 16 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and midday. Tie on a heavy jig + cut bait and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 6 to 19 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (16 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 6 to 19 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (16 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 6 to 19 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (16 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 5 to 19 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (16 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 5 to 19 ft. Through summer count on 5 to 19 ft; the winter hold is 4 to 19 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 9 ft of water and rates prime come winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 19 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 5 to 19 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (9 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 5 to 19 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 4 to 19 ft | dawn | Break off the point (9 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 6 to 19 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 6 to 19 ft, and winter fish hold in 6 to 19 ft. Summer lake whitefish concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 16 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 6 to 19 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (9 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 6 to 19 ft | dawn | Deep basin (16 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 5 to 19 ft | dusk | Break off the point (9 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 6 to 19 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (16 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
