34-acre lake near Laramie Region. The lake tops out around 9 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Drawn out, this is 35 acres of water rimmed by 1.2 miles of bank. A shoreline index of 1.4 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. All of it is shallow-zone water — under ~15 ft across the entire basin, so the food chain has the run of the place. The basin spans about 0.4 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Albany County. For a second option, Twin Buttes Res lies 1 mi west.
Spring puts rainbow trout in skinny water — 2 to 9 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 2 to 9 ft, and winter fish hold in 2 to 9 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 4 ft, rated prime for winter rainbow trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon covers the summer program.
