18-acre lake near Lander Region. The lake tops out around 70 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Traced from the shoreline, Lower Saddlebags Lake runs 17 acres with 0.7 miles of edge. A shoreline index of 1.3 says round and simple: fish relate to depth changes here, not shoreline features. About 13% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. You'll find it in Fremont County. The nearest mapped water is Fawn Lake, 2 mi to the northeast.
Start shallow in spring: brook trout sit in 2 to 15 ft that time of year. Summer pushes them deeper, 10 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 3 to 20 ft. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 32 ft of water that rates prime for brook trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm until the fish tell you otherwise.
