42-acre lake near Cody Region. The lake tops out around 60 ft. Depth here is modeled from the true shoreline and max depth rather than surveyed; use it to plan, not to navigate. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The drawn water covers 41 acres wrapped in 1 miles of bank. A shoreline index of 1.1 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 16% of the surface on the model — that's where the groceries are. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end and 0.3 mi across at its widest. Park County claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Gander Lake, is 1 mi to the northeast.
Come spring, look for arctic grayling tight to the bank in 2 to 10 ft. They move out to 3 to 15 ft in summer and finish the year down in 8 to 25 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a feeding flat around 6 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is the evening and early morning. A dry fly (parachute adams, elk hair caddis) or a small inline spinner is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 10 ft | midday & dusk | Shallow bay flat (6 ft) | 1/16 oz spinner (silver), Small dry fly (Adams, Griffith's) |

A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm is the honest summer answer here.
