285-acre lake near Cody Region. The lake tops out around 472 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Traced from the shoreline, Deep Lake runs 314 acres with 4.6 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.8) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 12% of this chart, as modeled. Tip to tip the water measures near 1.7 mi with a 0.6-mi widest point. The water lies in Park County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Sawtooth Lake, 4 mi west of here.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Shallow bay flat is the standout, a feeding flat at roughly 6 ft, rated good for spring 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.
