Fishing Devereux Lake: what the data says
322-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 243 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 321 acres wrapped in 4.5 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.8) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Roughly 44% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives.
Coho Salmon fishing at Devereux Lake
Spring coho salmon on Devereux Lake hold shallow, usually 3 to 25 ft. By summer they slide out to 30 to 70 ft, and by winter most fish are in 20 to 60 ft. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 207 ft, good for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + fly or a medium spoon above the thermocline.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Small orange dodger + peanut fly, Thin spoon (orange/silver) |

Cutthroat Trout fishing at Devereux Lake
The spring pattern is a shallow one: cutthroat trout in 3 to 15 ft. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 35 ft, wintering in 10 to 40 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 109-ft range, good in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a trolled spoon (small) or a inline spinner gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |

Kokanee fishing at Devereux Lake
Come spring, look for kokanee tight to the bank in 10 to 30 ft. They move out to 30 to 70 ft in summer and finish the year down in 20 to 80 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 207 ft that scores good in spring. Best bite is early morning. A dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger or a kokanee bug + corn is the honest summer answer here.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Deep basin (207 ft) | Small dodger + squid (pink), Wedding-ring spinner + corn |
