27-acre lake in Kitimat-Stikine Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 32 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. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The drawn water covers 27 acres wrapped in 1 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. About 55% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The basin spans about 0.4 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. It sits in Kitimat-Stikine Regional District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Duckwing Lake, is 1 mi to the southeast.
Early season rainbow trout use the shallows, holding in 5 to 20 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 6 to 32 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 14 ft that grades prime for winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in 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 (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (14 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 9 to 32 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 6 to 32 ft | dawn | Break off the point (14 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
