Fishing Glendale Lake: what the data says
302-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 75 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Glendale Lake maps at 302 acres behind 3.4 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Roughly 8% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives.
Chinook Salmon fishing at Glendale Lake
Come spring, look for chinook salmon tight to the bank in 5 to 40 ft. Expect a summer slide to 23 to 75 ft, then a winter hold in 23 to 75 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 64 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A flasher + fly (green/white) or a magnum spoon on downrigger is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (34 ft) | Trolled spoon (orange/gold), Stickbait off planer boards |
| Summer | 23 to 75 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (64 ft) | Flasher + fly (green/white), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (34 ft) | J-plug (glow), Flasher + fly |
| Winter | 23 to 75 ft | midday | Deep basin (64 ft) | Small spoon on a slow troll, Stickbait deep |
Coho Salmon fishing at Glendale Lake
Come spring, look for coho salmon tight to the bank in 3 to 25 ft. They move out to 30 to 70 ft in summer and finish the year down in 20 to 60 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 64 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A dodger + fly or a medium spoon above the thermocline is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (19 ft) | Small orange dodger + peanut fly, Thin spoon (orange/silver) |
| Summer | 30 to 70 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (64 ft) | Dodger + fly, Medium spoon above the thermocline |
| Fall | 8 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (19 ft) | Casting spoon, Spinner (chartreuse) |
| Winter | 20 to 60 ft | midday | Deep basin (64 ft) | Small spoon, slow troll |
Cutthroat Trout fishing at Glendale Lake
In spring, cutthroat trout run shallow here, mostly 3 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 35 ft before dropping to 10 to 40 ft for winter. Summer cutthroat trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 34 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a trolled spoon (small) or a inline spinner most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (19 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (34 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (19 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 10 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (34 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
Kokanee fishing at Glendale Lake
Early season kokanee use the shallows, holding in 10 to 30 ft. Expect a summer slide to 30 to 70 ft, then a winter hold in 19 to 75 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 64 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger or a kokanee bug + corn and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Break off the point (34 ft) | Small dodger + squid (pink), Wedding-ring spinner + corn |
| Summer | 30 to 70 ft | dawn | Deep basin (64 ft) | Dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger, Kokanee bug + corn |
