218-acre lake in Fraser-Fort George Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 75 ft. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Lamb Lake maps at 218 acres behind 3.7 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.8) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 27% of this chart, as modeled. Figure 1.1 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.6 mi at the beam. Fraser-Fort George Regional District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Urn Lake, is 4 mi to the east.
Early season burbot use the shallows, holding in 25 to 70 ft. Summer is a 23 to 75 ft game here, winter a 15 to 60 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 64 ft, prime for spring. Best bite is after dark and midday. Tie on a heavy jig + cut bait and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 25 to 70 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (64 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 23 to 75 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (64 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 23 to 75 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (64 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 15 to 60 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (64 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
