57-acre lake in Kitimat-Stikine Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 59 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Kleanza Lake maps at 57 acres behind 1.8 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.7) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. 77% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. End to end it runs roughly 0.7 mi, about 0.2 mi across. It sits in Kitimat-Stikine Regional District. Burnie Lakes sits 20 mi southeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
Come spring, look for kokanee tight to the bank in 10 to 30 ft. Expect a summer slide to 18 to 59 ft, then a winter hold in 15 to 59 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 40 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning. A dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger or a kokanee bug + corn is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Break off the point (18 ft) | Small dodger + squid (pink), Wedding-ring spinner + corn |
| Summer | 18 to 59 ft | dawn | Deep basin (40 ft) | Dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger, Kokanee bug + corn |
| Fall | 5 to 40 ft | dawn | Deep basin (40 ft) | Dodger + squid (deeper red/purple), Small spoon |
| Winter | 15 to 59 ft | dawn | Deep basin (40 ft) | Small glow jig + corn or maggot, Tiny spoon |
When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 5 to 20 ft. By summer they slide out to 8 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 8 to 40 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 18 ft that scores prime in winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (18 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (18 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (18 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (18 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Structure-wise the chart holds 5 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 40 ft.

Kleanza Lake is about 59 ft (18 m) deep at its deepest point. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled.
Anglers target kokanee, rainbow trout on Kleanza Lake.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 40 ft of water that rates prime for kokanee in summer. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every species and season.
For kokanee, the summer bite is best in early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
