176-acre lake in Fraser-Fort George Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 19 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Traced from the shoreline, Grizzly Lake runs 176 acres with 2.4 miles of edge. At index 1.3 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 89% of this chart, as modeled. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.9 mi with a 0.5-mi widest point. You'll find it in Fraser-Fort George Regional District. The nearest mapped water is Tsitniz Lake, 3 mi to the southwest.
Spring puts rainbow trout in skinny water — 5 to 19 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 5 to 19 ft, and winter fish hold in 4 to 19 ft. Winter rainbow trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 9 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon covers the summer program.
