848-acre lake in Cariboo Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 107 ft. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The drawn water covers 848 acres wrapped in 16.1 miles of bank, broken up by an island. With a shoreline index of 3.9, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 32% of this chart, as modeled. Call it 6 mi long by 0.7 mi wide at the broadest reach. Cariboo Regional District claims this one. Kluskus Lakes sits 2 mi south — the closest neighbouring chart.
Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 25 to 70 ft. Summer is a 32 to 107 ft game here, winter a 15 to 60 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 91 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is after dark and midday. Tie on a heavy jig + cut bait and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 25 to 70 ft | night & dusk | Break off the point (48 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 32 to 107 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (91 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 30 to 80 ft | night & dusk | Break off the point (48 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 15 to 60 ft | night & dusk | Break off the point (48 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
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 91 ft of water and rates prime come winter. 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 (91 ft) | Small dodger + squid (pink), Wedding-ring spinner + corn |
| Summer | 30 to 70 ft | dawn | Break off the point (48 ft) | Dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger, Kokanee bug + corn |
| Fall | 5 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (48 ft) | Dodger + squid (deeper red/purple), Small spoon |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Deep basin (91 ft) | Small glow jig + corn or maggot, Tiny spoon |
Early season lake trout use the shallows, holding in 10 to 40 ft. Summer is a 32 to 107 ft game here, winter a 20 to 80 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 91 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (27 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 32 to 107 ft | dawn | Deep basin (91 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (27 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Break off the point (48 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 5 to 20 ft. They move out to 8 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 8 to 40 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Main-lake point: a point around 27 ft that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| 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 | Main-lake point (27 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (27 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (48 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 15 to 45 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 40 to 90 ft; cold water stacks them in 25 to 70 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 91 ft, rated prime for summer lake whitefish. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 15 to 45 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (48 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |

| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dusk | Main-lake point (27 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 25 to 70 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (48 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
