1,262-acre lake in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 38 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The drawn water covers 1,262 acres wrapped in 9.4 miles of bank — one island included. A middling shoreline index (1.9) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 34% of this chart, as modeled. Figure 3.3 mi of water from one end to the other, 1 mi at the beam. It sits in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District. Its nearest charted neighbour, Moss Lake, is 4 mi to the southwest.
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 5 to 20 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 30 ft, then a winter hold in 8 to 38 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 17 ft of water and rates prime come winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (10 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (17 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (10 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 38 ft | dawn | Break off the point (17 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
