Fishing Keary Lake: what the data says
224-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 164 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Keary Lake maps at 223 acres behind 3.7 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.8) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. 12% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water.
Rainbow Trout fishing at Keary Lake
Spring rainbow trout on Keary Lake hold shallow, usually 5 to 20 ft. They move out to 8 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 8 to 40 ft. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 6 ft that grades good for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon.
