144-acre lake in Cariboo Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 69 ft. The surface is reconstructed from 48 measured spot soundings collected in 1971; water between those measurements is interpolated. Treat the contours between those soundings as a guide, never as navigation. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Drawn out, this is 144 acres of water rimmed by 2.5 miles of bank. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.5) — enough points and pockets to pattern. 39% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. Figure 0.8 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.6 mi at the beam. The water lies in Cariboo Regional District. For a second option, Triplet Lake lies 1 mi northwest.
Spring puts rainbow trout in skinny water — 5 to 20 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 8 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 8 to 40 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 27 ft, rated prime for winter rainbow trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (27 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (27 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (27 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
In spring, chinook salmon run shallow here, mostly 5 to 40 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 21 to 69 ft, and winter fish settle into 21 to 69 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 69 ft, rated prime for summer chinook salmon. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a flasher + fly (green/white) or a magnum spoon on downrigger most summer days.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (27 ft) | Trolled spoon (orange/gold), Stickbait off planer boards |
| Summer | 21 to 69 ft chart-limited; documented 50 to 120 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (69 ft) | Flasher + fly (green/white), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (27 ft) | J-plug (glow), Flasher + fly |
| Winter | 21 to 69 ft chart-limited; documented 30 to 90 ft | midday | Deep basin (69 ft) | Small spoon on a slow troll, Stickbait deep |
Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 69 ft.

Starlike Lake is about 69 ft (21 m) deep at its deepest point. The surface is reconstructed from 48 measured spot soundings collected in 1971; water between those measurements is interpolated. Treat the contours between those soundings as a guide, never as navigation.
Anglers target rainbow trout, chinook salmon on Starlike Lake.
Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 69 ft of water that rates prime for chinook salmon in summer. Every other rated spot, per species and season, is on the map above.
For rainbow trout, the summer bite is best in early morning and the evening. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
