10-acre lake near Lander Region. The lake tops out around 54 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Drawn out, this is 10 acres of water rimmed by 0.6 miles of bank. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 16% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. You'll find it in Fremont County. For a second option, Island Lake lies 0 mi east.
Spring cutthroat trout on Fawn Lake hold shallow, usually 3 to 15 ft. By summer they slide out to 10 to 35 ft, and by winter most fish are in 10 to 40 ft. The chart's best answer is Break off the point — drop-off, 24 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (14 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (24 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (14 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 10 to 40 ft | dawn | Break off the point (24 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
