• Where to Fish on Little Moss Lake

Species logged across Sublette County include brook trout, rainbow trout, brown trout and lake trout. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. On Little Moss Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 17°F to 51°F. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around early June. Open water usually runs from early June until about early November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Plan around that when you fish Little Moss Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Moss Lake at 0.6 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the position on Little Moss Lake before loading the car.
