Fishing Laurie Lake: what the data says
241-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 75 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The drawn water covers 241 acres wrapped in 3.5 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.6) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. 21% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water.
Rainbow Trout fishing at Laurie Lake
When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 5 to 20 ft. Summer is a 8 to 30 ft game here, winter a 8 to 40 ft one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 34 ft of water and rates prime come winter. The feeding windows run 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 (19 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (19 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (19 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (34 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Kokanee fishing at Laurie Lake
Come spring, look for kokanee tight to the bank in 10 to 30 ft. They move out to 30 to 70 ft in summer and finish the year down in 19 to 75 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 64 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning. A dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger or a kokanee bug + corn is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Break off the point (34 ft) | Small dodger + squid (pink), Wedding-ring spinner + corn |
| Summer | 30 to 70 ft | dawn | Deep basin (64 ft) | Dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger, Kokanee bug + corn |
| Fall | 5 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (34 ft) | Dodger + squid (deeper red/purple), Small spoon |
| Winter | 19 to 75 ft | dawn | Deep basin (64 ft) | Small glow jig + corn or maggot, Tiny spoon |
Lake Whitefish fishing at Laurie Lake
In spring, lake whitefish run shallow here, mostly 15 to 45 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 23 to 75 ft before dropping to 25 to 70 ft for winter. Summer lake whitefish concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 64 ft. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. 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 | 15 to 45 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (34 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 23 to 75 ft | dawn | Deep basin (64 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |

Burbot fishing at Laurie Lake
Spring burbot on Laurie Lake hold shallow, usually 25 to 70 ft. They move out to 23 to 75 ft in summer and finish the year down in 15 to 60 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 64 ft that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run after dark and midday. The summer box starts with a heavy jig + cut bait.
| 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 |
