29-acre lake near Sheridan Region. The lake tops out around 100 ft. This chart interpolates between a real shoreline and a known maximum depth. It will point you at likely water, but it is not a navigation product. The rest of this page walks each species through its year, using the map's own scoring.
The outline encloses 30 acres, worked by 0.9 miles of shoreline. Nearly circular (index 1.2), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. 10% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft), per the model — cover, weeds and forage water. Figure 0.3 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.2 mi at the beam. It sits in Johnson County. South Piney Creek Lake 1 sits 1 mi east — the closest neighbouring chart.
Start shallow in spring: cutthroat trout sit in 3 to 15 ft that time of year. Warm water sends them out to 10 to 35 ft; cold water stacks them in 10 to 40 ft. Top water on the chart: Main-lake point, a point in the 25 ft range, prime in fall. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. Throw a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner until the fish tell you otherwise.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 15 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Inline spinner (silver/gold), Small spoon |
| Summer | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (25 ft) | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (25 ft) | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
