113-acre lake in Kitimat-Stikine Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 11 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Oweegee Lake runs 113 acres with 3.7 miles of edge. An index of 2.5 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. Figure 1.4 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. You'll find it in Kitimat-Stikine Regional District. The nearest mapped water is Mehan Lake, 5 mi to the northwest.
In spring, rainbow trout run shallow here, mostly 3 to 11 ft. Summer keeps them at 3 to 11 ft, and they winter in 2 to 11 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 5 ft, rated prime for winter rainbow trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon most summer days.
