Jackson Lake Dam to Moose. Braided channels full of fine-spotted cutthroat under the Tetons. The river tops out around 10 ft. Bathymetry on this water is estimated from its real outline and maximum depth. Use it to shortlist water, then verify with your electronics — and never navigate by it. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
The drawn water covers 664 acres wrapped in 52.5 miles of bank. An index of 14.5 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. Nothing on this chart breaks 15 ft, which makes the whole surface littoral: weeds, bait and ambush cover everywhere. End to end it runs roughly 17 mi, about 4.2 mi across. Teton County claims this one. Its nearest charted neighbour, Jenny Lake, is 6 mi to the west.
The spring pattern is a shallow one: cutthroat trout in 2 to 10 ft. The depth story barely changes: 3 to 10 ft through summer, 3 to 10 ft in winter. Top water on the chart: Current seam (mile 20.6), a current seam in the 6 ft range, prime in spring. Time it for early morning and the evening. Summer baits: a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner gets it done.
