131-acre lake in Fraser-Fort George Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 23 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Wicheeda Lake maps at 131 acres behind 3.6 miles of shoreline — one island included. That shoreline is heavily fingered (development index 2.2) — bays, points and pockets everywhere, which multiplies the fishable edge. About 78% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. End to end it runs roughly 0.9 mi, about 0.4 mi across. It sits in Fraser-Fort George Regional District. Caddis Lakes sits 8 mi southwest — the closest neighbouring chart.
Spring rainbow trout on Wicheeda Lake hold shallow, usually 5 to 20 ft. By summer they slide out to 6 to 23 ft, and by winter most fish are in 5 to 23 ft. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 10 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 (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 6 to 23 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (10 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 7 to 23 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 5 to 23 ft | dawn | Break off the point (10 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Wicheeda Lake carries 6 mapped structure features, topping out (or rather bottoming out) at Deep basin, about 20 ft down.
