405-acre lake in Central Coast Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 92 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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
The outline encloses 405 acres, worked by 4.7 miles of shoreline. With a 1.7 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. 9% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. Tip to tip the water measures near 1.9 mi with a 0.6-mi widest point. Central Coast Regional District claims this one. Musclow Lake sits 4 mi west — the closest neighbouring chart.
When the water first warms, lake trout slide up into 10 to 40 ft. Summer is a 28 to 92 ft game here, winter a 20 to 80 ft one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 78 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning. Keep a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (23 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 28 to 92 ft | dawn | Deep basin (78 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (23 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 20 to 80 ft | dawn | Deep basin (78 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Spring rainbow trout on Haven Lake hold shallow, usually 5 to 20 ft. They move out to 8 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 8 to 40 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 41 ft that grades prime for winter. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (23 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |

| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (23 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (41 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
