Fishing Face Lake: what the data says
153-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 31 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
On the chart, Face Lake draws 153 acres inside 3.7 miles of shoreline. A development index of 2.2 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. Roughly 61% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives.
Rainbow Trout fishing at Face Lake
In spring, rainbow trout run shallow here, mostly 5 to 20 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 30 ft before dropping to 6 to 31 ft for winter. Winter rainbow trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 14 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon most summer days.
