248-acre lake in Fraser-Fort George Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 49 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Drawn out, this is 248 acres of water rimmed by 7 miles of bank. With a shoreline index of 3.2, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. 66% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. The basin spans about 1.6 mi end to end and 0.7 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Fraser-Fort George Regional District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Bone Lake, 6 mi west of here.
Start shallow in spring: rainbow trout sit in 5 to 20 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 8 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 8 to 40 ft. Top water on the chart: Main-lake point, a point in the 12 ft range, prime in spring. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (12 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (12 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (12 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Deep basin (42 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
