59-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 15 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.
The outline encloses 59 acres, worked by 1.3 miles of shoreline. At index 1.2 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.5 mi with a 0.3-mi widest point. Bulkley-Nechako Regional District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Innes Lake, is 3 mi to the east.
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 4 to 15 ft. Through summer count on 4 to 15 ft; the winter hold is 3 to 15 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 7 ft that scores prime in winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon 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.
