214-acre lake in Fraser-Fort George Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 112 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Hedrick Lake maps at 214 acres behind 2.7 miles of shoreline. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.3) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. Roughly 5% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 1.1 mi end to end and 0.4 mi across at its widest. Fraser-Fort George Regional District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Pass Lake, is 16 mi to the west.
When the water first warms, burbot slide up into 25 to 70 ft. Summer is a 34 to 112 ft game here, winter a 15 to 60 ft one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 95 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run after dark and midday. Keep a heavy jig + cut bait rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 25 to 70 ft | night & dusk | Break off the point (50 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 34 to 112 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (95 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 30 to 80 ft | night & dusk | Break off the point (50 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 15 to 60 ft | night & dusk | Break off the point (50 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Spring rainbow trout on Hedrick 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 Main-lake point first on the milk run — a point near 28 ft that grades prime for fall. 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 | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (28 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (28 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (50 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
