• Where to Fish on Lily Pond

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Survey and observation records for Fremont County include brown trout, rainbow trout and white sucker. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. The shape of Lily Pond rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 66°F at the top of summer and 22°F at the bottom of winter. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Winter locks it down, and early April brings it back. The season between ice runs from about early April to late November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. The season on Lily Pond rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Public mapping marks it as seasonal water rather than permanent. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Should this one be busy, Bull Lake is 3.9 miles off. Nothing on Lily Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
