• Where to Fish on Fiddlers Lake

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Species logged across Fremont County include brown trout, rainbow trout, white sucker and brook trout. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Anyone new to Fiddlers Lake should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 54°F on average, February about 19°F. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late May. Ice usually gives way near late May, and forms again about mid November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Fiddlers Lake.
