Lake Angeline Fishing Guide, Big Horn County, Wyoming

• Overview

  Set in Big Horn County, Lake Angeline is a Wyoming water. Height above sea level is 10,545 feet. It runs to roughly 56 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. About 1.2 miles of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. Size puts it in the front rank of our Big Horn County list. Buffalo sits 20 miles from the bank. After that come Sheridan at 35 miles and Worland at 47 miles. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Lake Angeline

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Survey and observation records for Big Horn County include brook trout, rainbow trout, brown trout and white sucker. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. On Lake Angeline the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 48°F; by January the average is down near 13°F. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly mid June. On the long-run averages the water opens up around mid June and starts locking again about late October. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Plan around that when you fish Lake Angeline.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Upper Frozen Lake sits 0.6 miles off and takes the overflow. Confirm access to Lake Angeline locally before you travel.
