Mule Lake is a lake in Park County, Wyoming and covers about 7.8 acres, and reaches about 40 feet.
On a water as small as Mule Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Mule Lake include Brook Trout and Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout.
How to Read the Water
On Mule Lake, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
Season by Season
When fishing Mule Lake, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
A Simple Tackle Plan
At Mule Lake, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
Record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce at Mule Lake.
