50-acre lake in Strathcona Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 46 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Traced from the shoreline, Comida Lake runs 50 acres with 1.8 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.8) — enough points and pockets to pattern. About 78% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 0.7 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. The water lies in Strathcona Regional District. For a second option, Surprise Lake lies 2 mi west.
When the water first warms, cutthroat trout slide up into 3 to 15 ft. Summer is a 10 to 35 ft game here, winter a 10 to 40 ft one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 17 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (2 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (17 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Secondary point (2 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 10 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (17 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
Spring puts kokanee in skinny water — 10 to 30 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 14 to 46 ft; cold water stacks them in 12 to 46 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 46 ft, rated prime for summer kokanee. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger or a kokanee bug + corn covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Break off the point (17 ft) | Small dodger + squid (pink), Wedding-ring spinner + corn |
| Summer | 14 to 46 ft | dawn | Deep basin (46 ft) | Dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger, Kokanee bug + corn |
| Fall | 5 to 40 ft | dawn | Deep basin (46 ft) | Dodger + squid (deeper red/purple), Small spoon |
| Winter | 12 to 46 ft | dawn | Deep basin (46 ft) | Small glow jig + corn or maggot, Tiny spoon |
5 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 46 ft, is the deepest of them.
