Caribou-Targhee National Forest

Fishing Opportunities

Natural Lakes

Except for the northeast quarter of the Forest, opportunities to fish natural lakes on the Caribou-Targhee National Forest are somewhat limited. Ashton-Island Park and Teton Basin Ranger Districts offer the most lakes per surface area and some exceptional natural flatwater angling experiences. While some lakes are stocked every other year or so, other lakes have naturally reproducing populations of trout.

Always be aware of Idaho Department of Fish and Game or Wyoming Department of Game and Fish angling regulations specific towards the lake you plan to enjoy on the Forest.
