451-acre lake in Kitimat-Stikine Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 20 ft. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The drawn water covers 451 acres wrapped in 3.9 miles of bank. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.3) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 77% of this chart, as modeled. Tip to tip the water measures near 1.6 mi with a 0.6-mi widest point. It sits in Kitimat-Stikine Regional District. If the bite dies, Dragon Lake is 6 mi to the east.
When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 5 to 20 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 5 to 20 ft, winter 4 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 9 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 | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (9 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 6 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 4 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (9 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
