• Where to Fish on Lost Camp Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Open biodiversity records for Sublette County list brook trout, rainbow trout and brown trout. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Take Lost Camp Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 49°F and January near 15°F. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Count the season from break-up, usually early June. Averages place the thaw at early June and the freeze at early November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Lost Camp Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Round Lake sits 0.4 miles off and takes the overflow. Rules at Lost Camp Lake are worth checking on the day.
