Wyoming offers many various types of fishing advertures for the serious fisherman. Wyoming fishing is not unheard of, but some of the waters go untouched from October to May. During these periods many brave fisherman can catch some hug fish.
I am sure you are aware of the endless miles of streams filled with trout in Wyoming. Many outsiders never consider the lakes and reservoirs. These waters are filled with some lunker trout, walleye, bass and other game fish.
It is best to break down the type of fishing you want to do into streams/rivers or lakes/reservoirs. If you do not live to far away from Wyoming you might want to drive. We love visiting Yellowstone and seeing all the landscape along the way.
