7-acre lake near Cody Region. The lake tops out around 28 ft. The chart is a model: real shoreline, published maximum depth, interpolated in between. A planning tool, never a navigation product. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
Drawn out, this is 9 acres of water rimmed by 0.7 miles of bank. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.7) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 48% of this chart, as modeled. You'll find it in Park County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Lost Lake, 0 mi south of here.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 8 to 28 ft, wintering in 3 to 20 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 24 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
