286-acre lake in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 26 ft. The surface is reconstructed from 35 measured spot soundings collected in 1976; 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 286 acres, worked by 4.3 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.8) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Roughly 80% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 1.6 mi end to end and 0.6 mi across at its widest. It sits in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District. If the bite dies, Hewson Lake is 1 mi to the northwest.
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 5 to 20 ft. Expect a summer slide to 7 to 26.25 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 26.25 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 14 ft of water and rates prime come winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.
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 | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (14 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 7 to 26.25 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (14 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 8 to 26.25 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (14 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 5 to 26.25 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (14 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
