9-acre lake near Laramie Region. The lake tops out around 22 ft. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
On the chart, Banner Lake, North draws 9 acres inside 0.5 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.1), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 39% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. The water lies in Carbon County. For a second option, Cascade Lake lies 1 mi south.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 7 to 22 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 19 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
