70-acre lake near Cody Region. The lake tops out around 53 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Traced from the shoreline, Long Lake runs 71 acres with 2.3 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.9) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 49% of this chart, as modeled. Figure 0.9 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. The water lies in Park County. For a second option, Hauser Lake lies 1 mi southeast.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 24 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.
