46-acre lake in Peace River Regional District, British Columbia. The lake tops out around 46 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Traced from the shoreline, Wright Lake runs 46 acres with 1.3 miles of edge. Nearly circular (index 1.4), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 36% of this chart, as modeled. End to end it runs roughly 0.5 mi, about 0.2 mi across. The water lies in Peace River Regional District. For a second option, Carbon Lake lies 6 mi northwest.
In spring, rainbow trout run shallow here, mostly 5 to 20 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 8 to 30 ft before dropping to 8 to 40 ft for winter. Winter rainbow trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 21 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon most summer days.
