334-acre lake near Laramie Region. The lake tops out around 30 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. What the data behind the map says about each species, season by season:
Twin Buttes Res maps at 337 acres behind 3.9 miles of shoreline. With a 1.5 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. About 69% of the surface sits shallower than 15 ft on the modeled chart — that's the weed-and-bait zone. The basin spans about 1.5 mi end to end and 0.7 mi across at its widest. It sits in Albany County. If the bite dies, Gelatt Lake, Big is 1 mi to the east.
In spring, brown trout run shallow here, mostly 3 to 25 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 9 to 30 ft before dropping to 4 to 30 ft for winter. Summer brown trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 14 ft. Fish it in after dark and early morning and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) most summer days.

Summer cutthroat trout concentrate at Break off the point, a prime-rated drop-off around 14 ft. Fish it in early morning and the evening and you'll meet the bite. You won't need more than a trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner most summer days.

|---|---|---|---|---|

The spring pattern is a shallow one: yellow perch in 3 to 12 ft. Midsummer fish sit out in 10 to 30 ft before dropping to 9 to 30 ft for winter. The spot to know is Shallow bay flat, a weed flat in about 4 ft of water that rates prime for yellow perch in spring. Plan around early morning in the warm months. Summer baits: a drop-shot micro plastics or a small spoon tipped with worm gets it done.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (4 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Perch-pattern micro crank |
| Summer | 10 to 30 ft | dawn | Deep basin (26 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small spoon tipped with worm |
| Fall | 9 to 30 ft | midday | Deep basin (26 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Perch rig / spreader |
