27-acre lake in Peace River Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 26 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The outline encloses 27 acres, worked by 1.1 miles of shoreline. A middling shoreline index (1.5) gives it some bays to work without being a maze. Roughly 67% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.4 mi with a 0.2-mi widest point. It sits in Peace River Regional District. Bearhole Lake sits 4 mi northwest — the closest neighbouring chart.
When the water first warms, rainbow trout slide up into 5 to 20 ft. By summer they slide out to 7 to 26 ft, and by winter most fish are in 5 to 26 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 12 ft that scores prime in winter. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon rigged through the warm months.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
