Where to Fish Burnt Gulch Lake


Most of the fish in the 2025 sample were from the supplemental plant of Yellowstone Cutthroat in 2019 indicating little natural recruitment over the last several years. Burnt Gulch may need to be added to the stocked lakes list. There are lots of Columbia Spotted frogs and tadpoles.
