Wall Lake near Pinedale: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Sublette County in Wyoming is where Wall Lake sits. What surrounds it is lake country bush. With some 105 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. It is among the larger waters listed here for Sublette County. Start from Pinedale, 19 miles down the road. Billings is the closest city, 196 miles away. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Wall Lake

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Species logged across Sublette County include brook trout, rainbow trout and brown trout. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. At Wall Lake the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 13°F in January up to 48°F in July. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Break-up comes around mid June, and the run that follows is short and strong. Averages place the thaw at mid June and the freeze at late October. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Wall Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits
