Alice Lake Fishing in Fremont County, Wyoming

• Overview

  Within Fremont County, Wyoming, you have Alice Lake. Pine and birch runs right down to the water. At 8 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day.

It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Alice Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Open biodiversity records for Fremont County list brown trout, rainbow trout and white sucker. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Alice Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 49°F and January near 17°F on the long-run figures. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late May. Expect the water usable from around late May until roughly early November. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Alice Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Soapstone Lake at 1.3 miles is the sensible second choice. Confirm access to Alice Lake locally before you travel.
