18-acre lake in Fraser-Fort George Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 26 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The drawn water covers 18 acres wrapped in 0.7 miles of bank. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.3) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. Roughly 94% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. It sits in Fraser-Fort George Regional District. Milk Lake sits 0 mi southwest — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring rainbow trout on Deep Lake hold shallow, usually 5 to 20 ft. By summer they slide out to 7 to 26 ft, and by winter most fish are in 5 to 26 ft. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 10 ft, prime for winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (10 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 7 to 26 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (10 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 7 to 26 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (10 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 5 to 26 ft | dawn | Break off the point (10 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
