44-acre lake in Daggett County, Utah. The lake tops out around 19 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Traced from the shoreline, Browne Lake runs 44 acres with 1.4 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.5) — enough points and pockets to pattern. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 82% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 0.5 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Daggett County. For a second option, Sheep Creek Lake lies 3 mi northwest.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 6 to 19 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 19 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 16 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.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 6 to 19 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (16 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |

In spring, rainbow trout run shallow here, mostly 5 to 19 ft. Summer keeps them at 5 to 19 ft, and they winter in 4 to 19 ft. Winter rainbow trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 9 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.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 19 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |

When the water first warms, cutthroat trout slide up into 3 to 15 ft. Summer is a 5 to 19 ft game here, winter a 5 to 19 ft one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 9 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
