681-acre lake in Stikine Region, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 92 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 681 acres wrapped in 10 miles of bank. An index of 2.7 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 22% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 3.5 mi end to end and 0.7 mi across at its widest. It sits in Stikine Region. If the bite dies, Tuya Lake is 7 mi to the southwest.
Spring arctic grayling on Ed Asp Lake hold shallow, usually 2 to 10 ft. By summer they slide out to 3 to 15 ft, and by winter most fish are in 8 to 25 ft. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 6 ft, good for spring. Prime time lands in the evening and early morning. The summer box starts with a dry fly (parachute adams, elk hair caddis) or a small inline spinner.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | 1/16 oz spinner (silver), Small dry fly (Adams, Griffith's) |
| Summer | 3 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Dry fly (parachute Adams, elk hair caddis), Small inline spinner |
| Fall | 6 to 20 ft | midday | Break off the point (41 ft) | Small spoon, Beadhead nymph under indicator |
| Winter | 8 to 25 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (78 ft) | Tungsten jig + waxworm, Small jigging spoon (gold) |
Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 78 ft.
