Christina Lake near Lander: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  The Fremont County entry here is Christina Lake, in Wyoming. Height above sea level is 9,948 feet. It measures some 351 acres, and wind has room to build across it. Some 3.5 miles of bank gives room to move when the wind turns. Size puts it in the front rank of our Fremont County list. Head to Lander, 20 miles away, for anything you forgot. It is 198 miles to Salt Lake City, the nearest city. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Christina Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Reported across Fremont County: brown trout, rainbow trout, white sucker and brook trout. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Fish Christina Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 17°F in February up to 50°F in July. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Once it clears, about early June, the fishing comes on quickly. Ice usually gives way near early June, and forms again about early November. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Time your trip to Christina Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Failing this one, try Gustave Lake, 1.1 miles away. Check the current arrangement for Christina Lake.
