Little Brooklyn Lake, Wyoming: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Little Brooklyn Lake is one of the Albany County listings for Wyoming. It sits at 10,364 feet above sea level. Small at around 8 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Supplies mean a trip to Saratoga, 30 miles off. Laramie is 34 miles and Rawlins 59 miles. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge. Trees come down to the water on one side more than the other.

• Where to Fish on Little Brooklyn Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Records held for Albany County cover brown trout, brook trout and rainbow trout. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Little Brooklyn Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 52°F and February near 20°F. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around late May. Open water usually runs from late May until about mid November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. It holds true on Little Brooklyn Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Parking is mapped about half a mile from the bank. There is a jetty half a mile off, worth knowing on a busy day. A campsite is mapped about half a mile away, which makes an early start easier. Public toilets are recorded roughly half a mile off. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. The nearest alternative is Mill Pond Lake, 0.5 miles out. For Little Brooklyn Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
