Fishing Grant Lake: what the data says
8-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 8 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
On the chart, Grant Lake draws 8 acres inside 0.5 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end.
Rainbow Trout fishing at Grant Lake
