18,652-acre lake near Weyakwin. The lake tops out around 38 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The outline encloses 18,612 acres, worked by 58.6 miles of shoreline, with 5 islands in the mix. An index of 3.1 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 61% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Tip to tip the water measures near 9.7 mi with a 7-mi widest point. Division No. 18 claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Sedge Lake, is 4 mi to the southwest.
Spring burbot on Weyakwin Lake hold shallow, usually 11 to 38 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 11 to 38 ft in summer, 10 to 38 ft once it turns cold. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 32 ft that grades prime for spring. The feeding windows run after dark and midday. The summer box starts with a heavy jig + cut bait.

Spring cisco (lake herring) concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 32 ft. Fish it in early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a vertical flutter spoon (small) or a drop-shot micro plastic most summer days.

Early season northern pike use the shallows, holding in 2 to 8 ft. Expect a summer slide to 8 to 20 ft, then a winter hold in 5 to 15 ft. Put Shallow bay flat first on the milk run — a weed flat near 5 ft that grades prime for spring. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage and you're in the game.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 8 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (5 ft) | #5 inline spinner, Spoon (red/white) |
