65-acre lake in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 11 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The outline encloses 65 acres, worked by 2.3 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (2.1) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. End to end it runs roughly 0.6 mi, about 0.4 mi across. Bulkley-Nechako Regional District claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Parrott Lakes, is 2 mi to the northwest.
When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 3 to 11 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 3 to 11 ft, winter 2 to 11 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 5 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 | 3 to 11 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 3 to 11 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (5 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 3 to 11 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 2 to 11 ft | dawn | Break off the point (5 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
