Fishing Stateline Reservoir in Uinta County, Wyoming

• Overview

  Stateline Reservoir sits in Uinta County, out in Wyoming. The country round it is lake country bush from end to end. Surface area runs to roughly 263 acres, so plan for one area rather than the whole. Bank access stretches around 2.9 miles in total. Head to Mountain View, 20 miles away, for anything you forgot. Lyman follows at 24 miles, then Evanston at 36 miles. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Stateline Reservoir

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. County-wide records name cutthroat trout, brown trout and Utah sucker. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Stateline Reservoir gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 56°F and December reads 21°F. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near mid May. From about mid May to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Plan around that when you fish Stateline Reservoir.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Stateline Campground Boat Ramp Road sits about half a mile away and carries the launch. There is camping recorded roughly half a mile off. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. If the gate is shut, Grahams Reservoir at 0.9 miles is the nearest alternative. What applies at Stateline Reservoir may have changed since it was mapped.
