Section Corner Lake near Pinedale: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Section Corner Lake belongs to Sublette County, Wyoming. What surrounds it is lake country bush. It measures about 55 acres, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. Bank access stretches around 1.4 miles in total. The closest town, Pinedale, is 15 miles away. The big place round here is Salt Lake City, 193 miles distant. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Section Corner Lake

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Fish documented in Sublette County include brook trout, rainbow trout, brown trout, lake trout and white sucker. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Section Corner Lake a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 15°F in January to roughly 49°F in July. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Count the season from break-up, usually early June. Break-up near early June, freeze-up near early November: that is the shape of an average year. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Section Corner Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Trapper Lake at 1.2 miles is the sensible second choice.
