• Where to Fish on Penny Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Records held for Sublette County cover brook trout, rainbow trout, brown trout and lake trout. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. On Penny Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 49°F; by January the average is down near 15°F. Hard water is a season in its own right here. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near early June. The season between ice runs from about early June to early November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Expect Penny Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Rim Lake at 0.2 miles is the sensible second choice.
