About Fishing at Yellowstone Lake

Yellowstone Lake is a public lake in Teton County, Wyoming, managed by Wyoming Game and Fish Department. It is public water managed for fishing by Wyoming Game and Fish.

Lakes and reservoirs across the Rocky Mountain region typically hold rainbow, brown, cutthroat and brook trout, with kokanee salmon and lake trout present in many of the larger reservoirs -- species commonly documented across the region's public waters by state wildlife agencies.

Yellowstone Lake covers about 28,791 acres in the Cody Region (Bighorn Basin & Yellowstone Country) region. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are Indian Pond and Turbid Lake.

Fishing Licence for Yellowstone Lake

Anyone 14 or older needs a Wyoming fishing licence — the resident annual is about $27, the non-resident annual about $102 (Wyoming's non-resident fee is one of the highest), with non-resident daily (~$14) and 5-day options. A Conservation Stamp (about $21.50, valid multiple years) is also required. Wyoming residents 65 and older buy a discounted licence; under-14 fish free with a licensed adult. Buy from Wyoming Game and Fish at wgfd.wyo.gov. A Wyoming fishing licence plus a Conservation Stamp covers this water — it is on WGFD's Fishing Guide. Wyoming grants no public right to a private streambed: where a stream crosses private land, fish from public land, a WGFD walk-in or Public Access Area, or a bridge right-of-way.

Public access

Lakes and reservoirs here are confirmed public via an WGFD Fishing Access listing; river access is on public land, state Wildlife Areas and department easements The general Wyoming trout creel is 6 (only 1 over 20 inches), but many waters carry reduced limits, slot limits, artificial-only or catch-and-release rules — cutthroat-conservation streams, Blue Ribbon water and the tailwaters especially; always check the current Wyoming Fishing Regulations
