39-acre lake near Cody Region. The lake tops out around 5 ft. The contours come from a model of the real basin shape and its known max depth. Read them as probabilities, not soundings, and keep them out of navigation decisions. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Shoreline on the chart totals 3.1 miles. An index of 2.3 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. 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 1 mi, about 0.3 mi across. The water lies in Park County. For a second option, Fantan Lake lies 1 mi southwest.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 1 to 5 ft. The depth story barely changes: 2 to 5 ft through summer, 1 to 5 ft in winter. The spot to know is Deep basin, a deep basin in about 4 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 5 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (5 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 2 to 5 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (4 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
