66-acre lake in Fraser-Fort George Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 31 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Traced from the shoreline, Lynx Lake runs 66 acres with 2.6 miles of edge — one island included. With a shoreline index of 2.2, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. Roughly 78% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 0.8 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in Fraser-Fort George Regional District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Hutda Lake, 4 mi northwest of here.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: rainbow trout in 5 to 20 ft. As the season builds they drop to 8 to 30 ft, wintering in 6 to 31 ft. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 30 ft range, prime in winter. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (30 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 9 to 31 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (30 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 6 to 31 ft | dawn | Deep basin (30 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
