Borum Lake Fishing Guide, Sublette County, Wyoming

• Overview

  Sublette County, Wyoming, is where Borum Lake sits. The land about it is rolling bush. It runs to roughly 35 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Pinedale lies 18 miles from the water. The nearest city of size is Billings, 194 miles away. Water in the same corner: Gottfried Lake at 0.8 miles, Heart Lake near enough 1.1 miles, Neil Lake at 1.2 miles, No Name Lakes near enough 1.3 miles and Summit Lake at 1.6 miles. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Borum Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. County-wide records name brook trout, rainbow trout, brown trout, lake trout and white sucker. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Fish Borum Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 49°F, the coldest about 15°F. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early June. Averages place the thaw at early June and the freeze at early November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Borum Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. If the gate is shut, Gottfried Lake at 0.8 miles is the nearest alternative. Nothing on Borum Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
