21-acre lake in Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 22 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The outline encloses 21 acres, worked by 0.8 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. 58% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Forbush Lake, is 3 mi to the northeast.
Start shallow in spring: cutthroat trout sit in 3 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 6 to 22 ft, and winter fish settle into 6 to 22 ft. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 10 ft of water that rates prime for cutthroat trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 6 to 22 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (10 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 4 to 22 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 6 to 22 ft | dawn | Break off the point (10 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 5 to 20 ft. They move out to 6 to 22 ft in summer and finish the year down in 4 to 22 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 10 ft that scores prime in winter. 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 | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 6 to 22 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (10 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 6 to 22 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 4 to 22 ft | dawn | Break off the point (10 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
