28-acre reservoir near Laramie Region. The lake tops out around 38 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Traced from the shoreline, Dipper Lake runs 26 acres with 1 miles of edge. A shoreline index of 1.4 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 26% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. You'll find it in Carbon County. The nearest mapped water is Long Lake, Middle, 1 mi to the northeast.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: arctic grayling in 2 to 10 ft. As the season builds they drop to 3 to 15 ft, wintering in 8 to 25 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 17 ft range, prime in fall. Time it for the evening and early morning. Summer baits: a dry fly (parachute adams, elk hair caddis) or a small inline spinner gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | midday & dusk | open water | 1/16 oz spinner (silver), Small dry fly (Adams, Griffith's) |
| Summer | 3 to 15 ft | dusk & dawn | Break off the point (17 ft) | Dry fly (parachute Adams, elk hair caddis), Small inline spinner |
| Fall | 6 to 20 ft | midday | Break off the point (17 ft) | Small spoon, Beadhead nymph under indicator |
| Winter | 8 to 25 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (17 ft) | Tungsten jig + waxworm, Small jigging spoon (gold) |
Structure-wise the chart holds 3 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 32 ft.
