2,557-acre lake in Kitimat-Stikine Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 233 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Traced from the shoreline, Eddontenajon Lake runs 2,558 acres with 16 miles of edge. An index of 2.3 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. 1% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. The basin spans about 6.9 mi end to end and 1.2 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Kitimat-Stikine Regional District. The nearest mapped water is Tatogga Lake, 5 mi to the south.
Spring puts rainbow trout in skinny water — 5 to 20 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 8 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 8 to 40 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a feeding flat at roughly 6 ft, rated good for spring rainbow trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (105 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
