225-acre lake in Fraser-Fort George Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 13 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The drawn water covers 225 acres wrapped in 4.6 miles of bank, with a single island in the mix. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 2.2) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. End to end it runs roughly 1.7 mi, about 0.5 mi across. Fraser-Fort George Regional District claims this one. If the bite dies, Merton Lake is 4 mi to the southeast.
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 3 to 13 ft. Through summer count on 3 to 13 ft; the winter hold is 3 to 13 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 6 ft that scores prime in winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 13 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 3 to 13 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (6 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 4 to 13 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 3 to 13 ft | dawn | Break off the point (6 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
