7-acre lake near Cody Region. The lake tops out around 26 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The drawn water covers 6 acres wrapped in 0.5 miles of bank. With a 1.5 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. About 48% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. It sits in Park County. Its nearest charted neighbour, Box Lake, is 0 mi to the northwest.
Spring puts cutthroat trout in skinny water — 3 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 7 to 26 ft; cold water stacks them in 7 to 26 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 12 ft, rated prime for summer cutthroat trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner covers the summer program.
