Round Top Lake near Cheyenne: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  In Wyoming, Round Top Lake belongs to Laramie County. The water sits 6,316 feet up. Small at around 18 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Cheyenne sits 5.4 miles from the bank. Then Ranchettes, 6 miles, and Fox Farm-College, 8 miles. The nearest boundary is a fair way off. It repays a second visit more than a first.

• Where to Fish on Round Top Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Reported across Laramie County: white sucker, brook trout, longnose sucker and brown trout. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Round Top Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 26°F in January up to 67°F in July. A lid forms in a hard winter only. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Round Top Lake fishes to that pattern most years. Barometer swings matter more than a degree or two.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. The nearest alternative is Lake Pearson, 2.9 miles out. Check the current arrangement for Round Top Lake.
