Rating depth structure for cutthroat trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
143-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 148 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The outline encloses 142 acres, worked by 2.3 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 4% of this chart, as modeled. End to end it runs roughly 0.8 mi, about 0.4 mi across. It sits in Skeena-Queen Charlotte Regional District. Prudhomme Lake sits 4 mi south — the closest neighbouring chart.
In spring, cutthroat trout run shallow here, mostly 3 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 35 ft before dropping to 10 to 40 ft for winter. Summer cutthroat trout concentrate at Main-lake point, a prime-rated point around 37 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner most summer days.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (37 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 10 to 40 ft | dawn | Main-lake point (37 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
