24-acre lake in Strathcona Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 34 ft. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Lawier Lake maps at 24 acres behind 0.9 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 40% of this chart, as modeled. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi, about 0.2 mi across. It sits in Strathcona Regional District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Gosling Lake, is 2 mi to the south.
In spring, cutthroat trout run shallow here, mostly 3 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 34 ft before dropping to 9 to 34 ft for winter. Summer cutthroat trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 15 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner most summer days.
