Fishing at Towner Lake, Albany County, Wyoming

• Overview

  Within Albany County, Wyoming, you have Towner Lake. It stands 10,469 feet above sea level. The water measures roughly 10 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. It sits higher than most water we list in Wyoming. For supplies, Saratoga is 29 miles out. Then Laramie, 35 miles, and Rawlins, 59 miles. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Towner Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Across Albany County, recorded fish include brown trout, brook trout, rainbow trout and longnose sucker. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. The shape of Towner Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 50°F and January near 17°F on the long-run figures. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Break-up comes around early June, and the run that follows is short and strong. From about early June to around early November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Anyone fishing Towner Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Highway 130 Lake, 0.2 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. None of that is settled for Towner Lake in what we hold.
