1,350-acre lake in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 400 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Drawn out, this is 1,350 acres of water rimmed by 8.9 miles of bank. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.7) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Roughly 1% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Call it 3.3 mi long by 0.9 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District. The nearest mapped water is Surel Lake, 4 mi to the southeast.
Spring puts rainbow trout in skinny water — 5 to 20 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 8 to 30 ft, wintering in 8 to 40 ft. Spring rainbow trout concentrate at Shallow bay flat, a good-rated feeding flat around 6 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (180 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
6 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 340 ft, is the deepest of them.
