Moose Lake, Wyoming: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Moose Lake falls in Teton County, part of Wyoming. The surroundings are mixed forest. About 25 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Nearest place of any size is Ashton, 24 miles away. Further out sit Driggs (26 miles) and Victor (35 miles). Round about: Loon Lake sits 1.9 miles out, Junco Lake lies 3 miles on, Winegar Lake sits 3 miles out, Fish Lake lies 3 miles on and Indian Lake sits 3.9 miles out. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Moose Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Records held for Teton County cover mountain whitefish, lake trout and Utah sucker. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. The shape of Moose Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 59°F, the coldest about 17°F. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. Climate figures give an open season running late April to mid November. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. On Moose Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Loon Lake sits 1.9 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing on Moose Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
