2,321-acre lake in Kitimat-Stikine Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 59 ft. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Drawn out, this is 2,321 acres of water rimmed by 14.7 miles of bank — one island included. A development index of 2.2 means a maze of bays and points: far more casting targets than a round bowl of the same size. About 15% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 4.5 mi long by 1.7 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Kitimat-Stikine Regional District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Mowchilla Lake, 4 mi south of here.
Spring puts coho salmon in skinny water — 3 to 25 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 18 to 59 ft, wintering in 18 to 59 ft. Summer coho salmon concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 50 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A dodger + fly or a medium spoon above the thermocline covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (15 ft) | Small orange dodger + peanut fly, Thin spoon (orange/silver) |
| Summer | 18 to 59 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (50 ft) | Dodger + fly, Medium spoon above the thermocline |
| Fall | 8 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (15 ft) | Casting spoon, Spinner (chartreuse) |
| Winter | 18 to 59 ft | midday | Deep basin (50 ft) | Small spoon, slow troll |
Start shallow in spring: rainbow trout sit in 5 to 20 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 8 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 8 to 40 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 27 ft range, prime in winter. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (15 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (27 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (15 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (27 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
