578-acre lake in Kitimat-Stikine Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 189 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. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Kluea Lake maps at 578 acres behind 6.3 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.9) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. 9% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. Tip to tip the water measures near 2.7 mi with a 0.7-mi widest point. It sits in Kitimat-Stikine Regional District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Todagin Lake, is 3 mi to the southwest.
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 Shallow bay flat: a feeding flat around 6 ft that scores good in spring. 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 | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (85 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
