Stonecup Lake Fishing in Park County, Wyoming

• Overview

  Stonecup Lake lies within the bounds of Park County, Wyoming. Mixed forest runs right down to the water. Small at around 3 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Park County. West Yellowstone lies 48 miles from the water. The nearest city of size is Billings, 117 miles away. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Stonecup Lake

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Across Park County, recorded fish include brook trout, rainbow trout, brown trout, cutthroat trout and black-spotted cutthroat trout. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Read Stonecup Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 51°F for July and 15°F for January. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late May. Ice clears near late May and comes back about early November in a typical year. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. On Stonecup Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. For a change of water, Sylvan Lake is 4.8 miles distant. Treat access at Stonecup Lake as something to verify.
