Rainbow Trout
Rainbow trout fishing near Burns, Wyoming, offers a classic high-plains experience. While Burns itself doesn't boast major trout rivers, its proximity to several productive fisheries makes it a worthwhile base. Look to the Crow Creek drainage, particularly upstream from Cheyenne, for accessible stream fishing. Early summer, after the spring runoff, and early fall, before the hard freezes set in, are prime times. The trout here aren't huge, typically averaging 10-14 inches, but they are plentiful and eager to take a well-presented dry fly or small nymph. A local tip: Access to Crow Creek can be tricky due to private land. Always respect posted signage and look for designated public access points, often marked by Wyoming Game and Fish. Consider a float tube or wading boots to explore the deeper pools and undercut banks where the trout hold. The water can be quite clear, so use lighter tippet and practice your stealth.
