26-acre lake near Cody Region. The lake tops out around 52 ft. These contours are modeled — built from the real shoreline and the water's maximum depth — so read them as a guide, never as navigation. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Stockade Lake runs 30 acres with 1.2 miles of edge. The shoreline is moderately structured (index 1.6) — enough points and pockets to pattern. About 27% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The basin spans about 0.4 mi end to end and 0.2 mi across at its widest. The water lies in Park County. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Losekamp Lake, 1 mi north of here.
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 23 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.
