293-acre lake in Kitimat-Stikine Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 28 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
On the chart, Kluachon Lake draws 293 acres inside 4.4 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.8) — enough points and pockets to pattern. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 79% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Tip to tip the water measures near 1.7 mi with a 0.7-mi widest point. The water lies in Kitimat-Stikine Regional District. For a second option, Eddontenajon Lake lies 5 mi south.
Spring puts rainbow trout in skinny water — 5 to 20 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 7 to 28 ft; cold water stacks them in 6 to 28 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 13 ft, rated prime for winter rainbow trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon covers the summer program.
