10-acre lake in Greater Vancouver Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 25 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The drawn water covers 10 acres wrapped in 0.6 miles of bank. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. 55% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. It sits in Greater Vancouver Regional District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Como Lake, is 4 mi to the southwest.
Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 25 ft, then a winter hold in 3 to 20 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 21 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (21 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (11 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Early season brown bullhead use the shallows, holding in 2 to 8 ft. Expect a summer slide to 3 to 12 ft, then a winter hold in 10 to 25 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 21 ft that grades prime for winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and the evening.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | dusk & night | open water | |
| Summer | 3 to 12 ft | night & dusk | open water | |
| Fall | 5 to 15 ft | dusk | open water | |
| Winter | 10 to 25 ft | midday | Deep basin (21 ft) |
The spring pattern is a shallow one: cutthroat trout in 3 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 7 to 25 ft before dropping to 6 to 25 ft for winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 11 ft of water that rates prime for cutthroat trout in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 7 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (11 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 6 to 25 ft | dawn | Break off the point (11 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 5 to 20 ft. By summer they slide out to 7 to 25 ft, and by winter most fish are in 5 to 25 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 11 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 | 7 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (11 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 7 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 5 to 25 ft | dawn | Break off the point (11 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
In spring, lake whitefish run shallow here, mostly 8 to 25 ft. Summer keeps them at 8 to 25 ft, and they winter in 8 to 25 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 21 ft, rated prime for summer lake whitefish. Time it for early morning. You won't need more than a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 8 to 25 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (11 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 8 to 25 ft | dawn | Deep basin (21 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 7 to 25 ft | dusk | Break off the point (11 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 8 to 25 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (21 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Structure-wise the chart holds 3 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 21 ft.
