848-acre lake in Powell River Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 149 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The outline encloses 848 acres, worked by 8.2 miles of shoreline — 3 islands included. With a 2 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. About 6% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 3.1 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.9 mi at the beam. It sits in Powell River Regional District. Haslam Lake sits 3 mi southeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring puts cutthroat trout in skinny water — 3 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 35 ft; cold water stacks them in 10 to 40 ft. Main-lake point is the standout, a point at roughly 37 ft, rated prime for summer cutthroat trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner covers the summer program.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (37 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
