Fishing Provis Lake: what the data says
71-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 8 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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Traced from the shoreline, Provis Lake runs 71 acres with 1.8 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.5) — enough points and pockets to pattern. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end.
Rainbow Trout fishing at Provis Lake
Start shallow in spring: rainbow trout sit in 2 to 8 ft that time of year. Summer keeps them at 2 to 8 ft, and they winter in 2 to 8 ft. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 4 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in winter. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
