121-acre reservoir near Laramie Region. The lake tops out around 9 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. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
The outline encloses 99 acres, worked by 1.5 miles of shoreline. At index 1.1 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. There is no deep basin to speak of — the entire surface is under ~15 ft, prime weed water end to end. Figure 0.5 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.4 mi at the beam. Albany County claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Sodergreen Lake, is 9 mi to the east.
When the water first warms, brook trout slide up into 1 to 9 ft. There's no big seasonal slide here — summer means 3 to 9 ft, winter 1 to 9 ft. Start at Deep basin. It's a deep basin holding about 8 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run early morning and the evening. Keep a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm rigged through the warm months.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 3 to 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (8 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 1 to 9 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 1 to 9 ft | dawn | Deep basin (8 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
Start shallow in spring: brown trout sit in 1 to 9 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 3 to 9 ft covers summer, 1 to 9 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 4 ft of water that rates prime for brown trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and early morning. Throw a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Summer | 3 to 9 ft | night & dawn | Break off the point (4 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Fall | 2 to 9 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 1 to 9 ft | dawn | Break off the point (4 ft) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Come spring, look for rainbow trout tight to the bank in 2 to 9 ft. Through summer count on 2 to 9 ft; the winter hold is 2 to 9 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 4 ft that scores prime in winter. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 2 to 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (4 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 3 to 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 2 to 9 ft | dawn | Break off the point (4 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Start shallow in spring: cutthroat trout sit in 2 to 9 ft that time of year. They don't go far with the seasons — 3 to 9 ft covers summer, 2 to 9 ft covers winter. The spot to know is Break off the point, a drop-off in about 4 ft of water that rates prime for cutthroat trout in summer. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. Throw a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 3 to 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (4 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 2 to 9 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 2 to 9 ft | dawn | Break off the point (4 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
