Rating depth structure for arctic grayling.

336-acre lake in Peace River Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 16 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
The drawn water covers 336 acres wrapped in 6.6 miles of bank. The 2.6 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. About 91% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 2.5 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.5 mi at the beam. Peace River Regional District claims this one. If the bite dies, Lifeline Lake is 13 mi to the east.
When the water first warms, arctic grayling slide up into 2 to 10 ft. Summer is a 3 to 15 ft game here, winter a 5 to 16 ft one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 14 ft of water and rates prime come winter. The feeding windows run the evening and early morning. Keep a dry fly (parachute adams, elk hair caddis) or a small inline spinner rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | 1/16 oz spinner (silver), Small dry fly (Adams, Griffith's) |
| Summer | 3 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (7 ft) | Dry fly (parachute Adams, elk hair caddis), Small inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 16 ft | midday | Break off the point (7 ft) | Small spoon, Beadhead nymph under indicator |
| Winter | 5 to 16 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (14 ft) | Tungsten jig + waxworm, Small jigging spoon (gold) |
6 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 14 ft, is the deepest of them.
Season dates, license requirements, and size and bag limits for British Columbia waters are set by the BC freshwater fishing synopsis — and special regulations can apply to Marion Lake specifically, so confirm the current rules before you fish.

Marion Lake is about 16 ft (5 m) deep at its deepest point. The contours here are modeled from the water's real shape and maximum depth, so treat them as a rough guide.
Anglers target arctic grayling on Marion Lake.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 14 ft of water that rates prime for arctic grayling in winter. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every species and season.
For arctic grayling, the summer bite is best in the evening and early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
