Fishing Tagetochlain Lake: what the data says
2,704-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 200 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
On the chart, Tagetochlain Lake draws 2,698 acres inside 23.1 miles of shoreline. With a shoreline index of 3.2, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. 13% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water.
