6-acre lake near Laramie Region. 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, Cutthroat Lake runs 6 acres with 0.4 miles of edge. At index 1.1 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 46% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. You'll find it in Albany County. For a second option, Arrowhead Lake lies 1 mi east.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 6 to 19 ft, wintering in 3 to 19 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 16 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
