352-acre lake in Kitimat-Stikine Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 39 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. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The drawn water covers 352 acres wrapped in 5.4 miles of bank, with 2 islands in the mix. A middling shoreline index (2.1) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. 72% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. Tip to tip the water measures near 1.4 mi with a 0.9-mi widest point. It sits in Kitimat-Stikine Regional District. If the bite dies, Mowdade Lake is 9 mi to the northwest.
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 5 to 20 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 8 to 39 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 18 ft of water and rates prime come winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (10 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (18 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (10 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 39 ft | dawn | Break off the point (18 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
