169-acre lake in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 52 ft. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Traced from the shoreline, Tamasgale Lake runs 169 acres with 2.7 miles of edge. Index 1.5 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 31% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. End to end it runs roughly 0.7 mi, about 0.6 mi across. The water lies in Bulkley-Nechako Regional District. For a second option, Nation Lakes lies 9 mi east.
Come spring, look for lake whitefish tight to the bank in 15 to 45 ft. Expect a summer slide to 16 to 52 ft, then a winter hold in 16 to 52 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 44 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning. A blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 15 to 45 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (23 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 16 to 52 ft | dawn | Deep basin (44 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dusk | Break off the point (23 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 16 to 52 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (44 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
