Elk is designated a fly only lake. Gas motors are also prohibited. Elk appears to be a large shallow weed carpeted shoal, however, at the north end of the lake it does get deeper. Best fishing occurs early in the summer and also late in the falls. A very pretty lake with islands.
Elk Lake lies in low rolling hilly terrain.
Yellow pond lily and cattail are very abundent around the margin and in the shallows of the lake. Gas motors prohibited. Jackson's Hole has a small open site BCFS campsite. Cars, campers and small RV's can access this campsite. Always check your current BC Fishing regulations before you start fishing a new lake.
