570-acre lake in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 24 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 570 acres wrapped in 7.7 miles of bank, broken up by 2 islands. With a shoreline index of 2.3, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 74% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 2.3 mi end to end and 0.9 mi across at its widest. Bulkley-Nechako Regional District claims this one. If the bite dies, Ray Lake is 4 mi to the north.
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 5 to 20 ft. They move out to 6 to 24 ft in summer and finish the year down in 5 to 24 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 11 ft that scores prime in winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| 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 | 6 to 24 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (11 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 7 to 24 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 5 to 24 ft | dawn | Break off the point (11 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
