Treasure Lake near Driggs: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  The Teton County entry here is Treasure Lake, in Wyoming. The bank is 6,886 feet above sea level. At 2 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Teton County. Driggs at 8.4 miles is the nearest place to stop. The nearest city of size is Billings, 185 miles away. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Treasure Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Teton County records list mountain whitefish, lake trout and Utah sucker among the fish reported. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. On Treasure Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 56°F and December at 17°F. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Winter locks it down, and early May brings it back. Open water usually runs from early May until about mid November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Plan any trip to Treasure Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. A pier or jetty stands 50 yards away, which helps on a crowded bank. Overnight stays are possible half a mile away. There are toilets mapped about half a mile away. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. South Leigh Lakes sits 3.9 miles off and takes the overflow. Confirm access to Treasure Lake locally before you travel.
