45-acre lake in Cariboo Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 46 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Drawn out, this is 45 acres of water rimmed by 1.3 miles of bank. Its 1.3 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Roughly 62% of the water is 15 ft or less, the band where the food chain lives. Call it 0.4 mi long by 0.3 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Cariboo Regional District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Ruby Lake, 1 mi southwest of here.
In spring, rainbow trout run shallow here, mostly 5 to 20 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 8 to 40 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 16 ft, rated prime for winter rainbow trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (16 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (16 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (16 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (16 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
