222-acre lake in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 70 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Lamprey Lake maps at 222 acres behind 5 miles of shoreline. With a shoreline index of 2.4, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. 57% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. The basin spans about 1.3 mi end to end and 0.9 mi across at its widest. Bulkley-Nechako Regional District claims this one. Anzac Lake sits 2 mi south — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring rainbow trout on Lamprey Lake hold shallow, usually 5 to 20 ft. They move out to 8 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 8 to 40 ft. Put Main-lake point first on the milk run — a point near 13 ft that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon.
