208-acre lake in Strathcona Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 125 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:
Gooseneck Lake maps at 208 acres behind 3.4 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.7) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 46% of this chart, as modeled. Figure 1.2 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.5 mi at the beam. It sits in Strathcona Regional District. If the bite dies, Snakehead Lake is 1 mi to the northeast.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: cutthroat trout in 3 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 35 ft before dropping to 10 to 40 ft for winter. The spot to know is Main-lake point, a point in about 31 ft of water that rates prime for cutthroat trout in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (31 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (31 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 10 to 40 ft | dawn | Main-lake point (31 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 106 ft.
