• Where to Fish on Lake Prue

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Species logged across Sublette County include brook trout, rainbow trout, brown trout and lake trout. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Lake Prue gives up more to patience than to distance.

  The range across the year is 13°F to 48°F. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid June.

• 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. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Pipestone Lakes sits 0.5 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Lake Prue for certain.
