16-acre lake near Cody Region. The lake tops out around 26 ft. The contours are modeled from the water's real shoreline and maximum depth. Treat them as a rough guide, and never use them for navigation. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
Echo Lake maps at 15 acres behind 1.2 miles of shoreline. The 2.2 development index tells the story — a convoluted bank whose fishable edge far outruns the acreage. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 56% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. Figure 0.3 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. Park County claims this one. If the bite dies, Claw Lake is 1 mi to the southwest.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: cutthroat trout in 3 to 15 ft. As the season builds they drop to 7 to 26 ft, wintering in 7 to 26 ft. Top water on the chart: Break off the point, a drop-off in the 12 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner gets it done.
| 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 | 7 to 26 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (12 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 7 to 26 ft | dawn | Break off the point (12 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
