Rating depth structure for coho salmon.

199-acre lake in Strathcona Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 46 ft. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The outline encloses 199 acres, worked by 4.1 miles of shoreline, broken up by an island. With a 2 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. About 23% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. End to end it runs roughly 0.9 mi, about 0.7 mi across. Strathcona Regional District claims this one. Gunflint Lake sits 1 mi northeast — the closest neighbouring chart.

In spring, cutthroat trout run shallow here, mostly 3 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 35 ft, and winter fish settle into 10 to 40 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 21 ft, rated prime for summer cutthroat trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (12 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (21 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (12 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 10 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (21 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
Come spring, look for coho salmon tight to the bank in 3 to 25 ft. Expect a summer slide to 14 to 46 ft, then a winter hold in 14 to 46 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 39 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A dodger + fly or a medium spoon above the thermocline is the honest summer answer here.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (12 ft) | Small orange dodger + peanut fly, Thin spoon (orange/silver) |
| Summer | 14 to 46 ft chart-limited; documented 30 to 70 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (39 ft) | Dodger + fly, Medium spoon above the thermocline |
| Fall | 8 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (12 ft) | Casting spoon, Spinner (chartreuse) |
| Winter | 14 to 46 ft chart-limited; documented 20 to 60 ft | midday | Deep basin (39 ft) | Small spoon, slow troll |
6 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 39 ft, is the deepest of them.
