Brown Trout
Central Wyoming's North Platte River, near Casper, is a premier destination for brown trout anglers. What makes this stretch special is the combination of riffles, runs, and deep pools that hold impressive numbers of browns. Spring and fall are prime times, with pre-spawn and post-spawn activity making the trout aggressive. During the summer, early morning and late evening are your best bets to beat the heat. A practical tip: Access to the river is good at Alcova Reservoir and Gray Reef Dam; however, be mindful of fluctuating water levels due to dam releases, especially when wading. Browns here are known for their opportunistic feeding habits, so match your flies to the prevalent insects – midges, mayflies, and caddisflies are staples. Don't be afraid to throw streamers as well, especially when the water is slightly off-color.
