Fishing Henri Lake: what the data says
410-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 28 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The drawn water covers 409 acres wrapped in 6.6 miles of bank. With a shoreline index of 2.3, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. 79% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water.
Rainbow Trout fishing at Henri Lake
When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 5 to 20 ft. By summer they slide out to 7 to 28 ft, and by winter most fish are in 6 to 28 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 13 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
