240-acre lake in Fraser-Fort George Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 36 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Traced from the shoreline, Suskeh Lake runs 240 acres with 3.1 miles of edge. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 89% of this chart. End to end it runs roughly 1.2 mi, about 0.5 mi across. The water lies in Fraser-Fort George Regional District. For a second option, Tsulkeh Lake lies 4 mi northeast.
In spring, rainbow trout run shallow here, mostly 5 to 20 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 30 ft before dropping to 7 to 36 ft for winter. Winter rainbow trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 33 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon most summer days.
