Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Fish documented in Teton County include mountain whitefish, lake trout, Utah sucker, brown trout and brook trout. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Delta Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

  In an average year July sits at 51°F and December at 15°F. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late May. On the long-run averages the water opens up around late May and starts locking again about early November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. That is the shape of the year on Delta Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. 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. Look for a notice board at the entrance. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. The nearest alternative is Surprise Lake, 0.4 miles out.
