42-acre lake in Squamish-Lillooet Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 49 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
The outline encloses 42 acres, worked by 2.5 miles of shoreline, broken up by an island. An index of 2.8 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 57% of this chart, as modeled. Call it 0.8 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. Squamish-Lillooet Regional District claims this one. Freeman Lake sits 1 mi southwest — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring kokanee on Daisy Lake hold shallow, usually 10 to 30 ft. They move out to 15 to 49 ft in summer and finish the year down in 12 to 49 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 42 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger or a kokanee bug + corn.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Deep basin (42 ft) | Small dodger + squid (pink), Wedding-ring spinner + corn |
| Summer | 15 to 49 ft | dawn | Deep basin (42 ft) | Dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger, Kokanee bug + corn |
| Fall | 5 to 40 ft | dawn | Deep basin (42 ft) | Dodger + squid (deeper red/purple), Small spoon |
| Winter | 12 to 49 ft | dawn | Deep basin (42 ft) | Small glow jig + corn or maggot, Tiny spoon |
Early season rainbow trout use the shallows, holding in 5 to 20 ft. Summer is an 8 to 30 ft game here, winter an 8 to 40 ft one. The chart's best answer is Main-lake point — point, 12 ft, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (12 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (12 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (12 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Deep basin (42 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
