490-acre lake in Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 295 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The drawn water covers 490 acres wrapped in 6.9 miles of bank, broken up by an island. With a shoreline index of 2.2, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 18% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 2.2 mi end to end and 0.8 mi across at its widest. Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District claims this one. If the bite dies, Cecilia Lake is 2 mi to the west.
When the water first warms, kokanee slide up into 10 to 30 ft. Summer is a 30 to 70 ft game here, winter a 20 to 80 ft one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 251 ft of water and rates good come spring. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger or a kokanee bug + corn rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Deep basin (251 ft) | Small dodger + squid (pink), Wedding-ring spinner + corn |
| Summer | 30 to 70 ft | dawn | Deep basin (251 ft) | Dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger, Kokanee bug + corn |
| Fall | 5 to 40 ft | dawn | open water | Dodger + squid (deeper red/purple), Small spoon |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Deep basin (251 ft) | Small glow jig + corn or maggot, Tiny spoon |
Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 251 ft.
