1,146-acre lake in Mount Waddington Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 139 ft. The surface is reconstructed from 68 measured spot soundings collected in 1969; water between those measurements is interpolated. Treat the contours between those soundings as a guide, never as navigation. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The outline encloses 1,146 acres, worked by 14.1 miles of shoreline, broken up by an island. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 3) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 17% of this chart, as modeled. Tip to tip the water measures near 5.4 mi with a 1.3-mi widest point. Mount Waddington Regional District claims this one. Songhees Lake sits 2 mi northeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring puts cutthroat trout in skinny water — 3 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 35 ft, wintering in 10 to 40 ft. Winter cutthroat trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 26 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (26 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 10 to 40 ft | dawn | Deep basin (26 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
6 pieces of structure are mapped here — Break off the point, around 64 ft, is the deepest of them.
