2,383-acre lake near Uranium City. The lake tops out around 54 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Milliken Lake maps at 2,377 acres behind 18 miles of shoreline — 4 islands included. An index of 2.6 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 59% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Call it 4.6 mi long by 1.7 mi wide at the broadest reach. Division No. 18 claims this one. Beaverlodge Lake sits 8 mi northeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring burbot on Milliken Lake hold shallow, usually 16 to 54 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 16 to 54 ft in summer, 14 to 54 ft once it turns cold. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 46 ft that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run after dark and midday. The summer box starts with a heavy jig + cut bait.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 16 to 54 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (46 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 16 to 54 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (46 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 16 to 54 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (46 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 14 to 54 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (46 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
In spring, cisco (lake herring) run shallow here, mostly 10 to 40 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 16 to 54 ft before dropping to 16 to 54 ft for winter. Summer cisco (lake herring) concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 46 ft. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (46 ft) | Small silver spoon, Tiny swim jig (white) |
| Summer | 16 to 54 ft | dawn | Deep basin (46 ft) | Vertical flutter spoon (small), Drop-shot micro plastic |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dusk & dawn | open water | Small casting spoon, Inline spinner (silver) |
| Winter | 16 to 54 ft | dawn | Deep basin (46 ft) | Small jigging spoon (glow/silver), Tungsten jig + minnow head |
Spring lake trout on Milliken Lake hold shallow, usually 10 to 40 ft. They move out to 16 to 54 ft in summer and finish the year down in 14 to 54 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 46 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning. The summer box starts with a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (14 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 16 to 54 ft | dawn | Deep basin (46 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (14 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 14 to 54 ft | dawn | Deep basin (46 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
In spring, lake whitefish run shallow here, mostly 15 to 45 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 16 to 54 ft before dropping to 16 to 54 ft for winter. Summer lake whitefish concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 46 ft. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 15 to 45 ft | midday & dawn | open water | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 16 to 54 ft | dawn | Deep basin (46 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dusk | Main-lake point (14 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 16 to 54 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (46 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 2 to 8 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 20 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 15 ft. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 6 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
| Summer | 8 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Bucktail, Weedless spoon over cabbage |
| Fall | 6 to 18 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Big rubber (Bull Dawg style), Husky-style jerkbait |
| Winter | 5 to 15 ft | midday | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Tip-ups, Large jigging spoon |
