124-acre lake in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 20 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
On the chart, Dukaihoonli Lake draws 124 acres inside 3 miles of shoreline. Index 1.9 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 79% of this chart, as modeled. The basin spans about 1.3 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Dia Lake, 3 mi southeast of here.
Come spring, look for lake whitefish tight to the bank in 6 to 20 ft. Through summer count on 6 to 20 ft; the winter hold is 6 to 20 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 17 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 6 to 20 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (9 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 6 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (17 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 5 to 20 ft | dusk | Break off the point (9 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 6 to 20 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (17 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
