82-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 27 ft. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Jimmy Lake maps at 82 acres behind 1.8 miles of shoreline. Its 1.4 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 71% of this chart, as modeled. The basin spans about 0.7 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. Thompson-Nicola Regional District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Bouleau Lake, is 8 mi to the southeast.

Early season rainbow trout use the shallows, holding in 5 to 20 ft. Summer is a 7 to 27 ft game here, winter a 5 to 27 ft one. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 12 ft, prime for winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon and you're in the game.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
