Rainbow Trout
Rainbow trout are a mainstay of the fishing scene around Big Piney, Wyoming, with the Green River and its tributaries offering ample opportunities. The Green River above Fontenelle Reservoir is a particularly productive stretch, known for its clear water and abundant insect life. Fly fishing is popular here, with dry flies like Elk Hair Caddis and Parachute Adams working well during hatches. Nymphing with beadhead nymphs is also effective, especially in the deeper runs. The best time to fish for rainbows is from late spring through fall, avoiding the high water of spring runoff. A local tip: wade fishing is common, but be cautious of slippery rocks and strong currents. Public access points are scattered along the river, but be respectful of private property. Rainbows in this area typically range from 10-16 inches, with the occasional larger fish. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department regularly stocks some of the smaller streams, providing additional fishing opportunities.
