8-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 26 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. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The drawn water covers 8 acres wrapped in 0.7 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.8) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. 69% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. Figure 0.3 mi of water from one end to the other. Thompson-Nicola Regional District claims this one. Harmon Lake sits 1 mi northeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
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.

When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 5 to 20 ft. Summer is a 7 to 26 ft game here, winter a 5 to 26 ft one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 12 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.
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 | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 7 to 26 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (12 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 7 to 26 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 5 to 26 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (12 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
