133-acre lake in Strathcona Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 74 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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Traced from the shoreline, Kunlin Lake runs 133 acres with 2.4 miles of edge — one island included. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.5) — enough points and pockets to pattern. About 11% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 0.8 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.4 mi at the beam. The water lies in Strathcona Regional District. For a second option, Donner Lake lies 4 mi east.
When the water first warms, cutthroat trout slide up into 3 to 15 ft. Summer is a 10 to 35 ft game here, winter a 10 to 40 ft one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 33 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (19 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (33 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (19 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
