Round Lake Fishing Guide, Albany County, Wyoming

• Overview

  In Wyoming, Round Lake belongs to Albany County. What surrounds it is pine and birch. It covers about 3 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Albany County. Supplies mean a trip to Saratoga, 29 miles off. Laramie is 35 miles and Rawlins 58 miles. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Round Lake

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. County-wide records name brown trout, brook trout and rainbow trout. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. On Round Lake a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 50°F and January near 17°F. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Count the season from break-up, usually early June. Climate averages put the opening at about early June and the closing near early November. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. On Round Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything 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. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Fishhook Lake, 0.1 miles away, makes the obvious fallback.
