Fishing Humphrey Lake: what the data says
485-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 94 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The drawn water covers 484 acres wrapped in 5.6 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.8) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. 33% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water.
Lake Trout fishing at Humphrey Lake
Spring lake trout on Humphrey Lake hold shallow, usually 10 to 40 ft. They move out to 28 to 94 ft in summer and finish the year down in 20 to 80 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 80 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger.
