17-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 30 ft. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
The drawn water covers 17 acres wrapped in 0.9 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 47% of this chart, as modeled. End to end it runs roughly 0.4 mi. Thompson-Nicola Regional District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Pemberton Lake, is 2 mi to the southwest.
These fish are listed in an exact-water agency record as forage or ecological context. They are not target-species profiles and do not affect DepthScout's Prime, Good, or Fair spot ratings.

Come spring, look for kokanee tight to the bank in 10 to 30 ft. Through summer count on 9 to 30 ft; the winter hold is 8 to 30 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 26 ft that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning. A dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger or a kokanee bug + corn is the honest summer answer here.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Deep basin (26 ft) | Small dodger + squid (pink), Wedding-ring spinner + corn |
| Summer | 9 to 30 ft chart-limited; documented 30 to 70 ft | dawn | Deep basin (26 ft) | Dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger, Kokanee bug + corn |
| Fall | 4 to 30 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 40 ft | dawn | Deep basin (26 ft) | Dodger + squid (deeper red/purple), Small spoon |
| Winter | 8 to 30 ft chart-limited; documented 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Deep basin (26 ft) | Small glow jig + corn or maggot, Tiny spoon |
When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 5 to 20 ft. Summer is an 8 to 30 ft game here, winter a 6 to 30 ft one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 14 ft of water and rates prime come winter. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon rigged through the warm months.

Eileen Lake is about 30 ft (9 m) deep at its deepest point. The contours here are modeled from the water's real shape and maximum depth, so treat them as a rough guide.
Anglers target kokanee, rainbow trout on Eileen Lake.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 26 ft of water that rates prime for kokanee in spring. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For kokanee, the summer bite is best in early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
