Rating depth structure for cutthroat trout.
Recent public catches load as you reach this section.
13-acre lake in Park County, Montana. The lake tops out around 100 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. Below is the species-by-species picture, pulled from the same data the map uses.
Traced from the shoreline, Wrong Lake runs 17 acres with 0.7 miles of edge. Nearly circular (index 1.3), so the story is the bottom, not the bank. 6% of the surface is littoral (under ~15 ft) — cover, weeds and forage water. Tip to tip the water measures near 0.3 mi. You'll find it in Park County. For a second option, Courthouse Lake lies 1 mi southeast.
Come spring, look for cutthroat trout tight to the bank in 3 to 15 ft. Expect a summer slide to 10 to 35 ft, then a winter hold in 10 to 40 ft. Prime time lands in early morning and the evening. A trolled spoon (small) or an inline spinner is the honest summer answer here.
| 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 | open water | Trolled spoon (small), Inline spinner |
| Fall | 5 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | open water | Casting spoon, Inline spinner |
| Winter | 10 to 40 ft | dawn | open water | Small jigging spoon, Marabou jig |
