313-acre lake near Pinedale Region. The lake tops out around 55 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
Traced from the shoreline, Soda Lake runs 314 acres with 4 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.6) — enough points and pockets to pattern. Roughly 50% of the water is 15 ft or less as modeled, the band where the food chain lives. Tip to tip the water measures near 1.3 mi with a 0.8-mi widest point. The water lies in Sublette County. For a second option, Fremont Lake lies 2 mi east.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 30 ft; cold water stacks them in 3 to 20 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 25 ft, rated prime for summer brook trout. Plan around early morning and the evening in the warm months. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (14 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Break off the point (25 ft) | Small spoon fished deep, Trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm |
| Fall | 2 to 15 ft | midday & dawn | Main-lake point (14 ft) | Small spoon (orange), Spinner |

When the water first warms, brown trout slide up into 3 to 25 ft. Summer is a 17 to 55 ft game here, winter a 5 to 35 ft one. Start at Break off the point. It's a drop-off holding about 25 ft of water and rates prime come summer. The feeding windows run after dark and early morning. Keep a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) rigged through the warm months.
