81-acre lake near Cody Region. The lake tops out around 56 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The chart traces 1.5 miles of shoreline here. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.5) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Roughly 32% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Call it 0.6 mi long by 0.2 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Park County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Big Moose Lake, 0 mi north of here.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 25 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
