26-acre lake in Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 15 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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Pear Lake maps at 26 acres behind 0.9 miles of shoreline. At index 1.2 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Figure 0.3 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District claims this one. If the bite dies, Nimnim Lake is 1 mi to the west.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: cutthroat trout in 3 to 15 ft. The depth story barely changes: 4 to 15 ft through summer, 4 to 15 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 7 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 4 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (7 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 4 to 15 ft | dawn | Break off the point (7 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
