9-acre lake near Sheridan Region. The lake tops out around 13 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
On the chart, Firehole Lake 1 draws 8 acres inside 0.4 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.1), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. You'll find it in Johnson County. The nearest mapped water is Lame Deer Lake, 1 mi to the northwest.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: brook trout in 2 to 13 ft. The depth story barely changes: 4 to 13 ft through summer, 2 to 13 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: Deep basin, a deep basin in the 11 ft range, prime in summer. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
