28-acre lake near Lander Region. The lake tops out around 80 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 is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Traced from the shoreline, Brooks Lake runs 26 acres with 0.9 miles of edge. A shoreline index of 1.3 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 11% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Fremont County. The nearest mapped water is Cub Lake, 1 mi to the west.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 30 ft before dropping to 3 to 20 ft for winter. Summer brook trout concentrate at Break off the point, a good-rated drop-off around 36 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
