33-acre lake near Lander Region. The lake tops out around 47 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Coon Lake maps at 33 acres behind 1.3 miles of shoreline. With a 1.7 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. About 28% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. Call it 0.4 mi long by 0.3 mi wide at the broadest reach. It sits in Sublette County. If the bite dies, Lower Saddlebags Lake is 7 mi to the southeast.
In spring, cutthroat trout run shallow here, mostly 3 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 35 ft before dropping to 10 to 40 ft for winter. Summer cutthroat trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 21 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner most summer days.
