23-acre lake near Sheridan Region. The lake tops out around 98 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 rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
On the chart, Florence Lake draws 22 acres inside 0.8 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.2), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. Roughly 7% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. End to end it runs roughly 0.3 mi, about 0.2 mi across. The water lies in Johnson County. For a second option, Mistymoon Lake lies 2 mi west.
When the water first warms, cutthroat trout slide up into 3 to 15 ft. Summer is a 10 to 35 ft game here, winter a 10 to 40 ft one. Start at Main-lake point. It's a point holding about 25 ft of water and rates prime come fall. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner rigged through the warm months.
