19-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 19 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Shadow Lake maps at 19 acres behind 0.7 miles of shoreline. At index 1.2 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. About 54% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 0.3 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. It sits in Thompson-Nicola Regional District. Zellers Lake sits 1 mi north — the closest neighbouring chart.
Early season rainbow trout use the shallows, holding in 5 to 19 ft. Even in summer they hold at 5 to 19 ft; winter keeps them in 4 to 19 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 9 ft that grades prime for winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon and you're in the game.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
