Rainbow Trout
Rainbow trout in the Bear River, Wyoming, offer a classic mountain stream fishing experience. While the river also holds brown trout, the rainbows are often found in the faster-flowing, well-oxygenated sections. Spring and fall are the best times to fish, with the spring offering excellent dry fly fishing during mayfly and caddis hatches. Nymphing is also effective year-round. A local tip: access can be challenging in some areas due to private land, so be sure to check public access points and respect private property. Also, be mindful of the river's flow, as it can fluctuate rapidly after rainfall or snowmelt. The rainbow trout in the Bear River are known for their vibrant colors and willingness to take a well-presented fly. They are typically not huge, but their feisty nature makes them a rewarding catch. Consider using barbless hooks to protect the fish and the fishery.
