Marys Lake Fishing near Pinedale, Wyoming

• Overview

  In Wyoming, Marys Lake belongs to Sublette County. Country round the bank runs to lake country bush. Small at around 7 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Our Sublette County list holds plenty of bigger water. Start from Pinedale, 14 miles down the road. The nearest city of size is Salt Lake City, 193 miles away. Rules here are straightforward: one county, one set of rules.

• Where to Fish on Marys Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Survey and observation records for Sublette County include brook trout, rainbow trout and brown trout. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Marys Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 51°F and January near 14°F. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late May. The water is typically free of ice between late May and early November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. That shapes the year on Marys Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Two Top Lakes, 0.3 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing here settles the position at Marys Lake for certain.
