205-acre lake in Cariboo Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 32 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.
The drawn water covers 205 acres wrapped in 5.9 miles of bank. An index of 2.9 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 89% of this chart. End to end it runs roughly 1.2 mi, about 0.9 mi across. Cariboo Regional District claims this one. If the bite dies, Roxanne Lake is 2 mi to the south.
When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 5 to 20 ft. Summer is an 8 to 30 ft game here, winter a 6 to 32 ft one. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 30 ft of water and rates prime come winter. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon rigged through the warm months.
| 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 | Deep basin (30 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 9 to 32 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (30 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 6 to 32 ft | dawn | Deep basin (30 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Structure-wise the chart holds 7 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 30 ft.
