Fishing Lake Taminah in Teton County, Wyoming

• Overview

  Lake Taminah is listed under Teton County, Wyoming. The bank gives way to pine and birch. It covers about 14 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. You are 13 miles from Moose Wilson Road. Billings is the closest city, 183 miles away. Alternatives close at hand: Snowdrift Lake at 1.1 miles, Kit Lake within 1.4 miles, Timberline Lake at 1.5 miles, Icefloe Lake within 1.6 miles and Amphitheater Lake at 2 miles. Rules here are straightforward: one county, one set of rules.

• Where to Fish on Lake Taminah

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Fish documented in Teton County include mountain whitefish, lake trout, Utah sucker and brown trout. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Read Lake Taminah for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 51°F, the coldest about 15°F. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Break-up comes around late May, and the run that follows is short and strong. Averages place the thaw at late May and the freeze at early November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. On Lake Taminah the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Snowdrift Lake at 1.1 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the position on Lake Taminah before loading the car.
