Blueberry Lake Fishing near Pinedale, Wyoming

• Overview

  Set in Sublette County, Blueberry Lake is a Wyoming water. This is pine and birch country. It runs to roughly 56 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. The edge runs 1.1 miles or so, easy to work in an afternoon. Pinedale is the closest town at 13 miles. The nearest city of size is Salt Lake City, 188 miles away. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Blueberry Lake

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Reported across Sublette County: brook trout, rainbow trout, brown trout, lake trout and white sucker. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. The near bank of Blueberry Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 14°F to 57°F. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early May. Average temperatures cross freezing around early May in spring and again near mid November in autumn. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. That shapes the year on Blueberry Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. For a change of water, Lovatt Lake is 2 miles distant. Signs at Blueberry Lake carry more weight than any list.
