10-acre lake near Cody Region. The lake tops out around 13 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. The season-by-season read for each species follows, from the map's own numbers.
The drawn water covers 12 acres wrapped in 0.6 miles of bank. The basin is a simple one (shoreline index 1.3) — close to a bowl, so the structure on the chart matters more than the bank. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. The basin spans about 0.3 mi end to end. Park County claims this one. If the bite dies, Hauser Lake is 0 mi to the northwest.
Spring puts cutthroat trout in skinny water — 3 to 13 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 4 to 13 ft, and winter fish hold in 3 to 13 ft. Summer cutthroat trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 6 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner covers the summer program.
