Fish species in Spruce Lake

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Spruce Lake is a lake in Sublette County, Wyoming.

Use the shape you can see at Spruce Lake: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Spruce Lake include Cutthroat Trout and Rainbow Trout.

For rainbow trout, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water at Spruce Lake.

How to Read the Water

On Spruce Lake, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.

Season by Season

At Spruce Lake, in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.

A Simple Tackle Plan

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 at Spruce Lake.

Around Spruce Lake, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest 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.
