12-acre lake near Laramie Region. The lake tops out around 45 ft. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
There are 0.5 miles of drawn shoreline to work. At index 1.3 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 21% of this chart, as modeled. Carbon County claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Long Lake, Middle, is 0 mi to the northwest.
Spring brook trout on Heart Lake hold shallow, usually 2 to 15 ft. They move out to 10 to 30 ft in summer and finish the year down in 3 to 20 ft. Put Break off the point first on the milk run — a drop-off near 20 ft that grades prime for summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
