226-acre lake in Mount Waddington Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 72 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The drawn water covers 226 acres wrapped in 3.4 miles of bank. With a 1.6 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 41% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 1.2 mi end to end and 0.4 mi across at its widest. Mount Waddington Regional District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Klaklakama Lakes, is 2 mi to the north.
Spring puts cutthroat trout in skinny water — 3 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 10 to 35 ft, wintering in 10 to 40 ft. Summer cutthroat trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 32 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner covers the summer program.
