11-acre lake near Laramie Region. The lake tops out around 6 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 follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
The drawn water covers 10 acres wrapped in 0.7 miles of bank. With a 1.6 development index there's bank structure worth casting at, in moderation. Every acre of it sits shallower than ~15 ft: one big littoral zone, cover and forage throughout. Call it 0.3 mi long. It sits in Carbon County. Its nearest charted neighbour, Long Lake, Middle, is 0 mi to the south.
Spring brook trout on Vagner Lake hold shallow, usually 1 to 6 ft. Depth-wise the year is flat: 2 to 6 ft in summer, 1 to 6 ft once it turns cold. The chart's best answer is Deep basin — deep basin, 5 ft, prime for summer. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. The summer box starts with a small spoon fished deep or a trolled lake-clear wobbler + worm.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 1 to 6 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (6 ft) | Small inline spinner (gold), Tiny spoon |
