Fishing Guyishton Lake: what the data says
121-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 57 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 120 acres wrapped in 1.9 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. About 41% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
Rainbow Trout fishing at Guyishton Lake
When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 5 to 20 ft. By summer they slide out to 8 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 8 to 40 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 26 ft that scores prime in winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon rigged through the warm months.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (14 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
