Torrey Lake Fishing Guide, Fremont County, Wyoming

• Overview

  Look for Torrey Lake in the Fremont County part of Wyoming. The bank is 7,411 feet above sea level. It measures about 230 acres, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. With about 2.5 miles of edge, you can try several depths in one session. On our Fremont County list it sits near the top for size. Nearest town is Pinedale, 44 miles off. Billings is the closest city, 168 miles away. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Torrey Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Species logged across Fremont County include brown trout, rainbow trout and white sucker. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Torrey Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 58°F, with December the cold end at about 22°F. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around late April. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near mid November. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. On Torrey Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Expect a half a mile walk in from where the car goes. 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. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Ring Lake, 0.8 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position at Torrey Lake before loading the car.
