1,208-acre lake in Peace River Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 146 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.
Quentin Lake maps at 1,208 acres behind 15.7 miles of shoreline — 8 islands included. With a shoreline index of 3.2, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. Roughly 9% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. The basin spans about 4.1 mi end to end and 1 mi across at its widest. It sits in Peace River Regional District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Haworth Lake, is 7 mi to the east.
Spring puts lake whitefish in skinny water — 15 to 45 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 40 to 90 ft, wintering in 25 to 70 ft. Summer lake whitefish concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 66 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 15 to 45 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 40 to 90 ft | dawn | Break off the point (66 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dusk | open water | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 25 to 70 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (66 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
