Meeboer Lake Fishing Guide, Albany County, Wyoming

• Overview

  Look for Meeboer Lake in Albany County, Wyoming. It lies 7,234 feet above sea level. With some 116 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. About 2.4 miles of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. On our Albany County list it sits near the top for size. The nearest place of any size is Laramie, 14 miles away. For a city, Fort Collins is 58 miles off. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Meeboer Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Records held for Albany County cover brown trout, brook trout and rainbow trout. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Read Meeboer Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 63°F and December about 24°F. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Look for the thaw near mid April; the fishing lifts straight after. Expect the water usable from around mid April until roughly late November. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. That shapes the year on Meeboer Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Parking is close: a car park sits half a mile from the bank. A pier half a mile from here gives a platform over deeper water. Facilities include toilets around half a mile from here. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. For a change of water, Soda Lake is 0.9 miles distant. Treat access at Meeboer Lake as something to verify.
