Beula Lake Fishing Guide, Teton County, Wyoming

• Overview

  This water sits in Teton County, Wyoming. The country here is pine and birch. It measures about 131 acres, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. Around 1.7 miles of margin, front to back. On our Teton County list it sits near the top for size. Ashton sits 34 miles from the bank. Beyond it, Driggs at 35 miles and West Yellowstone at 39 miles. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Beula Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. County-wide records name mountain whitefish, lake trout, Utah sucker and brown trout. The county list is broader than any single water. At Beula Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 56°F; the cold one sits at 14°F. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Ice-out usually falls in mid May, and the weeks after it fish hardest. On the long-run averages the water opens up around mid May and starts locking again about early November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. That shapes the year on Beula Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. You can camp half a mile off, which suits an early start. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Hering Lake sits 1 mile off and takes the overflow. Treat Beula Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
