24-acre lake near Cody Region. The lake tops out around 27 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
The drawn water covers 23 acres wrapped in 0.9 miles of bank. A shoreline index of 1.3 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. Roughly 29% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. 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, Jeff Lake is 1 mi to the northwest.
Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 15 ft. Summer is an 8 to 27 ft game here, winter a 3 to 20 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 23 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm and you're in the game.

| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
