48-acre lake in British Columbia. The lake tops out around 70 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Traced from the shoreline, Tommy Archie Lake runs 48 acres with 1.1 miles of edge. A shoreline index of 1.2 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Roughly 18% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Call it 0.4 mi long by 0.3 mi wide at the broadest reach. The water lies in Cariboo Regional District. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Whale Lake, 3 mi southwest of here.

Spring puts rainbow trout in skinny water — 5 to 20 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 8 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 8 to 40 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 32 ft, rated prime for winter rainbow trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon covers the summer program.

| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (32 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (18 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (32 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
