54-acre lake in Squamish-Lillooet Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 36 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Drawn out, this is 54 acres of water rimmed by 1.8 miles of bank, broken up by an island. Index 1.7 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. 75% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.5 mi with a 0.3-mi widest point. You'll find it in Squamish-Lillooet Regional District. The nearest mapped water is Pearson Pond, 1 mi to the west.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: rainbow trout in 5 to 20 ft. As the season builds they drop to 8 to 30 ft, wintering in 7 to 36 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 25 ft range, prime in winter. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (25 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (25 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 7 to 36 ft | dawn | Break off the point (25 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
