Fishing Riske Creek Reservoir: what the data says
24-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 7 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.
On the chart, Riske Creek Reservoir draws 24 acres inside 1.2 miles of shoreline. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.7) — enough points and pockets to pattern. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory.
