Pass Lake Fishing in Sublette County, Wyoming

• Overview

  The Sublette County entry here is Pass Lake, in Wyoming. Height above sea level is 10,482 feet. About 12 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It sits higher than most water we list in Wyoming. Nearest place of any size is Pinedale, 18 miles away. After that come Marbleton at 43 miles and Fort Washakie at 44 miles. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Pass Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Reported across Sublette County: brook trout, rainbow trout and brown trout. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Pass Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 13°F to 47°F. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough mid June. The season between ice runs from about mid June to late October. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. On Pass Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Sauerkraut Lakes at 0.7 miles is the sensible second choice.
