2,222-acre lake in Fraser-Fort George Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 56 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Weedon Lake maps at 2,222 acres behind 12 miles of shoreline, with a single island in the mix. With a 1.8 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. About 14% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Figure 4.7 mi of water from one end to the other, 1.5 mi at the beam. It sits in Fraser-Fort George Regional District. Tyee Lake sits 8 mi south — the closest neighbouring chart.
When the water first warms, burbot slide up into 17 to 56 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 17 to 56 ft, winter 14 to 56 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 48 ft that scores prime in spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in after dark and midday. Keep a heavy jig + cut bait rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 17 to 56 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (48 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 17 to 56 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (48 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 17 to 56 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (48 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 14 to 56 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (48 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
When the water first warms, lake trout slide up into 10 to 40 ft. By summer they slide out to 17 to 56 ft, and by winter most fish are in 14 to 56 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 48 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Keep a white tube jig (deep) or a magnum spoon on downrigger rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 10 to 40 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (14 ft) | Casting spoon over shoals, Jerkbait (shallow) |
| Summer | 17 to 56 ft | dawn | Deep basin (48 ft) | White tube jig (deep), Magnum spoon on downrigger |
| Fall | 10 to 50 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (14 ft) | Heavy casting spoon, Jigging rap over reefs |
| Winter | 14 to 56 ft | dawn | Deep basin (48 ft) | White tube jig, Airplane jig |
Spring rainbow trout on Weedon Lake hold shallow, usually 5 to 20 ft. By summer they slide out to 8 to 30 ft, and by winter most fish are in 8 to 40 ft. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 25 ft, prime for winter. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (14 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (25 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (14 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (25 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Start shallow in spring: lake whitefish sit in 15 to 45 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 17 to 56 ft, and winter fish settle into 17 to 56 ft. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 48 ft of water that rates prime for lake whitefish in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning. Throw a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 15 to 45 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (25 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 17 to 56 ft | dawn | Deep basin (48 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 8 to 30 ft | dusk | Break off the point (25 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 17 to 56 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (48 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
