12-acre lake near Cody Region. The lake tops out around 19 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. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
On the chart, Hauser Lake draws 14 acres inside 0.7 miles of shoreline. A shoreline index of 1.3 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 63% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end. The water lies in Park County. For a second option, Fort Lake lies 0 mi southwest.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 6 to 19 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 19 ft. Deep basin is the standout, a deep basin at roughly 16 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
