Fishing Lyons Lake: what the data says
133-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 39 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
On the chart, Lyons Lake draws 133 acres inside 3.2 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 2) — enough points and pockets to pattern. About 54% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone.
Rainbow Trout fishing at Lyons Lake
In spring, rainbow trout run shallow here, mostly 5 to 20 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 8 to 39 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 18 ft, rated prime for winter rainbow trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon most summer days.
