Rainbow Trout
For rainbow trout near Casper, Wyoming, the North Platte River is the star. This tailwater fishery below Grey Reef Dam is known for its consistent flows and healthy trout population. The rainbows here are known for their size and fight, making it a popular destination for anglers. Fly fishing is the dominant method, with nymphing, streamer fishing, and dry fly fishing all producing results depending on the season and conditions. Baetis and midge patterns are often effective, as are larger streamers that imitate smaller fish. Access is readily available at several public access points along the river. Be prepared for crowds, especially during peak season. Remember to check the special regulations for this section of the North Platte, including slot limits and gear restrictions.
