701-acre lake in Kitimat-Stikine Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 60 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Traced from the shoreline, Tatogga Lake runs 701 acres with 7 miles of edge. Index 1.9 on the shoreline: a few honest points and pockets, nothing labyrinthine. About 17% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Tip to tip the water measures near 2.4 mi with a 1-mi widest point. The water lies in Kitimat-Stikine Regional District. The nearest mapped water is Eddontenajon Lake, 5 mi to the north.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: rainbow trout in 5 to 20 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 30 ft before dropping to 8 to 40 ft for winter. The spot to know is Main-lake point, a point in about 15 ft of water that rates prime for rainbow trout in spring. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (15 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (15 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (15 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Deep basin (51 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
5 pieces of structure are mapped here — Deep basin, around 51 ft, is the deepest of them.
