670-acre lake in Cariboo Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 69 ft. The depth chart comes from British Columbia Fish and Wildlife Branch bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Traced from the shoreline, Ten Mile Lake runs 670 acres with 5 miles of edge. A shoreline index of 1.4 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 26% of this chart. Call it 1.7 mi long by 1 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Cariboo Regional District. The nearest mapped water is Hush Lake, 6 mi to the northeast.
These fish are listed in an exact-water agency record as forage or ecological context. They are not target-species profiles and do not affect DepthScout's Prime, Good, or Fair spot ratings.

Spring puts kokanee in skinny water — 10 to 30 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 21 to 69 ft; cold water stacks them in 17 to 69 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 58 ft, rated prime for summer kokanee. Plan around early morning in the warm months. A dodger + pink/orange squid on downrigger or a kokanee bug + corn covers the summer program.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
