5-acre lake near Sheridan Region. The lake tops out around 18 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The outline encloses 5 acres, worked by 0.4 miles of shoreline. At index 1.2 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 53% of this chart, as modeled. It sits in Sheridan County. Coney Lake sits 1 mi south — the closest neighbouring chart.
Start shallow in spring: cutthroat trout sit in 3 to 15 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 5 to 18 ft; cold water stacks them in 5 to 18 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 8 ft range, prime in summer. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 5 to 18 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (8 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |

When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 2 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 5 to 18 ft, and by winter most fish are in 3 to 18 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Deep basin: a deep basin around 15 ft that scores prime in summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
