107-acre lake in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 16 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Drawn out, this is 107 acres of water rimmed by 2.8 miles of bank. Index 1.9 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. Roughly 88% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Figure 1 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.4 mi at the beam. You'll find it in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District. For a second option, Webberly Lake lies 3 mi northwest.
Start shallow in spring: rainbow trout sit in 4 to 16 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 4 to 16 ft covers summer, 3 to 16 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 7 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in winter. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 4 to 16 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 4 to 16 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (7 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 5 to 16 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 3 to 16 ft | dawn | Break off the point (7 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
