12-acre lake near Laramie Region. The lake tops out around 16 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 drawn water covers 10 acres wrapped in 0.5 miles of bank. At index 1.1 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 70% of this chart, as modeled. Carbon County claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Arrastre Lake, is 1 mi to the northeast.
Early season brook trout use the shallows, holding in 2 to 15 ft. Summer is a 5 to 16 ft game here, winter a 2 to 16 ft one. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 14 ft, prime for summer. Best bite is early morning and the evening. Tie on a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 5 to 16 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (14 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
