807-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 25 ft. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Mcculloch Reservoir maps at 805 acres behind 10.4 miles of shoreline. The 2.6 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. Roughly 74% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 1.8 mi, about 1.7 mi across. Central Okanagan Regional District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Haynes Lake, is 2 mi to the southeast.

Come spring, look for brook trout tight to the bank in 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 8 to 25 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 21 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 25 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (21 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Break off the point (11 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 5 to 20 ft. Summer is a 7 to 25 ft game here, winter a 5 to 25 ft one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 11 ft of water and rates prime come winter. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon rigged through the warm months.

Mcculloch Reservoir is about 25 ft (8 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 brook trout, rainbow trout on Mcculloch Reservoir.
Break off the point is the top-rated area: a drop-off in about 11 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in winter. The map above holds the full rated-spot list for every species and season.
For brook trout, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
