9-acre lake near Cody Region. The lake tops out around 24 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. Here's the year, species by species, as the scoring engine sees it.
The drawn water covers 10 acres wrapped in 0.7 miles of bank. With a 1.6 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. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end. It sits in Park County.

The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
