737-acre lake in Central Coast Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 164 ft. The surface is reconstructed from 30 measured spot soundings collected in 1975; water between those measurements is interpolated. Treat the contours between those soundings as a guide, never as navigation. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Turner Lake maps at 737 acres behind 10.1 miles of shoreline. An index of 2.7 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 16% of this chart, as modeled. End to end it runs roughly 3.9 mi, about 0.6 mi across. Central Coast Regional District claims this one. Lonesome Lake sits 2 mi east — the closest neighbouring chart.
Start shallow in spring: cutthroat trout sit in 3 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 35 ft, and winter fish settle into 10 to 40 ft. The spot to know is Main-lake point, a point in about 1 ft of water that rates good for cutthroat trout in fall. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (1 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 10 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (51 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
Structure-wise the chart holds 7 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 164 ft.
