5-acre lake near Cody Region. The lake tops out around 12 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. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
On the chart, Frozen Lake draws 5 acres inside 0.4 miles of shoreline. Its 1.4 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. The water lies in Park County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Lower Sheepherder Lake, 1 mi west of here.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 12 ft. Summer keeps them at 4 to 12 ft, and they winter in 2 to 12 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 10 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
