94-acre lake in Peace River Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 98 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The drawn water covers 94 acres wrapped in 1.7 miles of bank. Its 1.2 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. About 11% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 0.6 mi long by 0.3 mi wide at the broadest reach. Peace River Regional District claims this one. Otto Lake sits 11 mi northwest — the closest neighbouring chart.
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 5 to 20 ft. They move out to 8 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 8 to 40 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Main-lake point: a point around 25 ft that scores prime in fall. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| 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 (25 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (25 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (44 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
