Fishing Pimainus Lakes: what the data says
8-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 15 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The drawn water covers 8 acres wrapped in 0.6 miles of bank. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze.
Rainbow Trout fishing at Pimainus Lakes
When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 4 to 15 ft. Summer fish stay in 4 to 15 ft, and winter fish hold in 3 to 15 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 7 ft that scores prime in winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon rigged through the warm months.
