Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Public occurrence data for Fremont County names brown trout, rainbow trout and white sucker.

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 50°F, while December sits near 15°F. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Season dates differ by species, so read the table.
