• Where to Fish on Lone Tree Reservoir

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Reported across Fremont County: brown trout, rainbow trout, white sucker, brook trout and arkansas darter. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Treat Lone Tree Reservoir as a water to read rather than to cover.

  In an average year July sits at 72°F and January at 33°F. In milder years the surface never sets. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Plan any trip to Lone Tree Reservoir around it. Conditions on the day matter more than the month on the calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Should this one be busy, Ott Reservoir is 0.6 miles off. Check the current arrangement for Lone Tree Reservoir.
