103-acre lake near Lander Region. The lake tops out around 28 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. Here is how the season plays out for each species, straight from the data behind the map.
Traced from the shoreline, Ring Lake runs 98 acres with 2 miles of edge. At index 1.4 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 59% of this chart, as modeled. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.7 mi with a 0.4-mi widest point. The water lies in Fremont County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Torrey Lake, 1 mi northwest of here.
Spring puts burbot in skinny water — 8 to 28 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 8 to 28 ft, and winter fish hold in 7 to 28 ft. Spring burbot concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 24 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around after dark and midday. A heavy jig + cut bait covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 8 to 28 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (24 ft) | Glow jigging spoon + cut bait, Rattle bait (dark) |
| Summer | 8 to 28 ft | night & midday | Deep basin (24 ft) | Heavy jig + cut bait |
| Fall | 8 to 28 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (24 ft) | Glow spoon + minnow head, Blade bait (slow) |
| Winter | 7 to 28 ft | night & dusk | Deep basin (24 ft) | Glow tungsten + cut bait, Rattle spoon + minnow head |
Come spring, look for brown trout tight to the bank in 3 to 25 ft. They move out to 8 to 28 ft in summer and finish the year down in 4 to 28 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Break off the point: a drop-off around 13 ft that scores prime in summer. Best bite is after dark and early morning. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) is the honest summer answer here.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Summer | 8 to 28 ft | night & dawn | Break off the point (13 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Fall | 5 to 28 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 4 to 28 ft | dawn | Break off the point (13 ft) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Spring puts rainbow trout in skinny water — 5 to 20 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 7 to 28 ft; cold water stacks them in 6 to 28 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 13 ft, rated prime for winter rainbow trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 7 to 28 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (13 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 8 to 28 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 6 to 28 ft | dawn | Break off the point (13 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Early season lake whitefish use the shallows, holding in 8 to 28 ft. Even in summer they hold at 8 to 28 ft; winter keeps them in 8 to 28 ft. Put Deep basin first on the milk run — a deep basin near 24 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning. Tie on a blade bait vertical or a small jigging spoon and you're in the game.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 8 to 28 ft | midday & dawn | Break off the point (13 ft) | Small jig + waxworm, Blade bait (small) |
| Summer | 8 to 28 ft | dawn | Deep basin (24 ft) | Blade bait vertical, Small jigging spoon |
| Fall | 7 to 28 ft | dusk | Break off the point (13 ft) | Small spoon (gold), Jig + plastic larva |
| Winter | 8 to 28 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (24 ft) | Jigging spoon + bead chain, Tungsten jig + waxie |
