8-acre lake near Lander Region. The lake tops out around 23 ft. What you see is a modeled chart: the shoreline is real, the max depth is published, and the contours between are estimated. Plan with it; don't navigate by it. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Drawn out, this is 7 acres of water rimmed by 0.6 miles of bank. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.6) — enough points and pockets to pattern. 49% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. The water lies in Fremont County. The nearest mapped water is Little Atlantic Lake, 0 mi to the north.
In spring, brook trout run shallow here, mostly 2 to 15 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 7 to 23 ft before dropping to 3 to 20 ft for winter. Summer brook trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 20 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm most summer days.
| 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 | 7 to 23 ft | dawn & dusk | Deep basin (20 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |
| Winter | 3 to 20 ft | dawn | Deep basin (20 ft) | Small jigging spoon, Tungsten jig + plastic |
In spring, splake run shallow here, mostly 5 to 23 ft. Summer keeps them at 7 to 23 ft, and they winter in 5 to 23 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 10 ft, rated prime for summer splake. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a trolled spoon at the thermocline or a white tube jig (deep) most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 23 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Small casting spoon (gold/orange), Inline spinner |
