13-acre lake near Jackson Region. The lake tops out around 10 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Traced from the shoreline, Bearpaw Lake runs 11 acres with 0.7 miles of edge. A shoreline index of 1.4 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi. You'll find it in Teton County. The nearest mapped water is Holly Lake, 4 mi to the southwest.
Come spring, look for cutthroat trout tight to the bank in 2 to 10 ft. Through summer count on 3 to 10 ft; the winter hold is 3 to 10 ft. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 5 ft of water and rates prime come summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner is the honest summer answer here.
