83-acre lake in Cariboo Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 22 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Twan Lake maps at 83 acres behind 1.8 miles of shoreline. Its 1.4 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. About 66% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 0.6 mi long by 0.4 mi wide at the broadest reach. It sits in Cariboo Regional District. If the bite dies, Tingley Lake is 4 mi to the east.
Come spring, look for burbot tight to the bank in 7 to 22 ft. Through summer count on 7 to 22 ft; the winter hold is 6 to 22 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 19 ft of water and rates prime come spring. Prime time lands in after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 7 to 22 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (19 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 7 to 22 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (19 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 7 to 22 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (19 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 6 to 22 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (19 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Early season rainbow trout use the shallows, holding in 5 to 20 ft. Expect a summer slide to 6 to 22 ft, then a winter hold in 4 to 22 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 22 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (10 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 6 to 22 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 4 to 22 ft | dawn | Break off the point (10 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |

Deep basin is the top-rated area: a deep basin in about 19 ft of water that rates prime for burbot in spring. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For burbot, the summer bite is best in after dark and midday. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
