140-acre lake in Cariboo Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 23 ft. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The drawn water covers 140 acres wrapped in 2.6 miles of bank. With a 1.5 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. About 77% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The basin spans about 1 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. It sits in Cariboo Regional District. Puntchesakut Lake sits 1 mi northeast — the closest neighbouring chart.
Early season rainbow trout use the shallows, holding in 5 to 20 ft. Expect a summer slide to 6 to 23 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 23 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 10 ft that grades prime for winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 6 to 23 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (10 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 7 to 23 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 5 to 23 ft | dawn | Break off the point (10 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Structure-wise the chart holds 6 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 20 ft.
