99-acre reservoir near Laramie Region. The lake tops out around 27 ft. The depth picture is modeled, anchored to the true shoreline and the water's published max depth — a scouting aid, never a chart to run a boat by. Every species below gets its seasonal read from the same numbers driving the chart.
Traced from the shoreline, Turpin Creek Res runs 108 acres with 2.1 miles of edge. Its 1.4 shoreline index means few bank features; the contours below do the pattern work. Littoral water — the productive band under ~15 ft — makes up 65% of this chart, as modeled. Call it 0.7 mi long by 0.4 mi wide at the broadest reach. You'll find it in Carbon County. For a second option, Banner Lake, North lies 2 mi southeast.
Spring puts brook trout in skinny water — 2 to 15 ft is the zone. As the season builds they drop to 8 to 27 ft, wintering in 3 to 20 ft. Summer brook trout concentrate at Deep basin, a prime-rated deep basin around 23 ft. Warm-month bites cluster around early morning and the evening. A small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm covers the summer program.
