15-acre lake in Strathcona Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 30 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Flume Lake runs 15 acres with 0.7 miles of edge. Nearly circular (index 1.2), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. 45% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.3 mi. You'll find it in Strathcona Regional District. For a second option, Gooseneck Lake lies 1 mi north.
When the water first warms, cutthroat trout slide up into 3 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 9 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 8 to 30 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 14 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 9 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (14 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 8 to 30 ft | dawn | Break off the point (14 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
