Bellamy Lake Fishing Guide, Albany County, Wyoming

• Overview

  You will find Bellamy Lake in Albany County, Wyoming. It stands 10,653 feet above sea level. Small enough that any disturbance crosses the whole surface. On size it sits at the modest end of our Albany County list. The closest town, Saratoga, is 27 miles distant. After that come Laramie at 37 miles and Rawlins at 57 miles. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Bellamy Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Open biodiversity records for Albany County list brown trout, brook trout, rainbow trout, longnose sucker and white sucker. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. The shape of Bellamy Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 50°F; the cold one sits at 17°F. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Look for the thaw near early June; the fishing lifts straight after. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early June and starts locking again about early November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. At Bellamy Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Parking within 120 yards means no long carry with tackle. Mapping records toilets within half a mile. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Lookout Lake, 0.6 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat access at Bellamy Lake as something to verify.
