59-acre lake in Mount Waddington Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 23 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. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The drawn water covers 59 acres wrapped in 1.3 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.2), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. 71% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.5 mi with a 0.3-mi widest point. It sits in Mount Waddington Regional District. Nahwitti Lake sits 14 mi northeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: cutthroat trout in 3 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 7 to 23 ft before dropping to 6 to 23 ft for winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 10 ft of water that rates prime for cutthroat trout in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 7 to 23 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (10 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 23 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 6 to 23 ft | dawn | Break off the point (10 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
Come spring, look for kokanee tight to the bank in 7 to 23 ft. Through summer count on 7 to 23 ft; the winter hold is 6 to 23 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 20 ft of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in early morning. A dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger or a kokanee bug + corn is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 7 to 23 ft | dawn | Deep basin (20 ft) | Small dodger + squid (pink), Wedding-ring spinner + corn |
| Summer | 7 to 23 ft | dawn | Deep basin (20 ft) | Dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger, Kokanee bug + corn |
| Fall | 3 to 23 ft | dawn | Deep basin (20 ft) | Dodger + squid (deeper red/purple), Small spoon |
| Winter | 6 to 23 ft | dawn | Deep basin (20 ft) | Small glow jig + corn or maggot, Tiny spoon |
Count 6 structure marks on this chart. The deepest, Deep basin, sits near 20 ft.
