25-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 66 ft. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Drawn out, this is 25 acres of water rimmed by 1.1 miles of bank. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.6) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 27% of this chart, as modeled. The basin spans about 0.5 mi end to end. You'll find it in Fraser Valley Regional District. For a second option, Pierce Lake lies 5 mi southwest.
In spring, rainbow trout run shallow here, mostly 5 to 20 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 8 to 40 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 30 ft, rated prime for winter rainbow trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (17 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (30 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (17 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (30 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Spring puts bull trout in skinny water — 10 to 40 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 20 to 66 ft; cold water stacks them in 19 to 66 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 56 ft, rated prime for summer bull trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A trolled plug on downrigger or a heavy jigging spoon covers the summer program.
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 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (30 ft) | Large jointed plug, 6" swimbait (kokanee/trout pattern) |
| Summer | 20 to 66 ft chart-limited; documented 30 to 90 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (56 ft) | Trolled plug on downrigger, Heavy jigging spoon |
| Fall | 5 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (17 ft) | Large glide bait, Jointed plug |
| Winter | 19 to 66 ft chart-limited; documented 20 to 70 ft | dawn | Break off the point (30 ft) | Heavy spoon (slow lift), Large soft swimbait |
When the water first warms, dolly varden slide up into 1 to 30 ft. Summer is a 2 to 40 ft game here, winter an 8 to 45 ft one. Start at Main-lake point. It's a point holding about 17 ft of water and rates prime come spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small chrome spoon or a baitfish streamer rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 30 ft | dawn & midday | Main-lake point (17 ft) | Small silver spoon, Inline spinner |
| Summer | 2 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (17 ft) | Small chrome spoon, Baitfish streamer |
| Fall | 1 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (17 ft) | Small spinner, Egg or fry pattern |
| Winter | 8 to 45 ft | midday | Break off the point (30 ft) | Small slow spoon, Weighted baitfish fly |
