2,056-acre lake in Fraser-Fort George Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 31 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 2,056 acres wrapped in 14.5 miles of bank. An index of 2.3 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. End to end it runs roughly 5.9 mi, about 1 mi across. It sits in Fraser-Fort George Regional District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Aleza Lake, is 10 mi to the east.
Come spring, look for burbot tight to the bank in 9 to 31 ft. Through summer count on 9 to 31 ft; the winter hold is 8 to 31 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 25 ft of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 9 to 31 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (25 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 9 to 31 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (25 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 9 to 31 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (25 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 8 to 31 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (25 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
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 31 ft. Put Main-lake point first on the milk run — a point near 5 ft that grades prime for spring. 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 (5 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (25 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 9 to 31 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 6 to 31 ft | dawn | Deep basin (25 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: lake whitefish in 9 to 31 ft. The depth story barely changes: 9 to 31 ft through summer, 9 to 31 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 25 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning. Summer baits: a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 9 to 31 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow feeding flat (20 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 9 to 31 ft | dawn | Deep basin (25 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dusk | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 9 to 31 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (25 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |

Eaglet Lake is about 31 ft (9 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Anglers target burbot, rainbow trout, lake whitefish on Eaglet Lake.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 25 ft of water that rates prime for burbot in spring. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For burbot, the summer bite is best in after dark and midday. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
