69-acre lake in Kitimat-Stikine Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 47 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Pine Lake maps at 69 acres behind 3.3 miles of shoreline, with 2 islands in the mix. The 2.8 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 63% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Figure 0.7 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. It sits in Kitimat-Stikine Regional District. If the bite dies, Treston Lake is 6 mi to the northwest.
Spring puts cutthroat trout in skinny water — 3 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 35 ft; cold water stacks them in 10 to 40 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 21 ft, rated prime for summer cutthroat trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (12 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (21 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
