88-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 54 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Traced from the shoreline, North Lake runs 88 acres with 1.7 miles of edge. A shoreline index of 1.3 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. 13% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. Figure 0.6 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.4 mi at the beam. The water lies in Sunshine Coast Regional District. For a second option, Waugh Lake lies 1 mi east.
These fish are listed in an exact-water agency record as forage or ecological context. They are not target-species profiles and do not affect DepthScout's Prime, Good, or Fair spot ratings.

Spring cutthroat trout on North Lake hold shallow, usually 3 to 15 ft. They move out to 10 to 35 ft in summer and finish the year down in 10 to 40 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 24 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner.
