Rainbow Trout
For rainbow trout in Sheridan, Wyoming, you’re in for a treat. The Bighorn Mountains offer a plethora of streams and rivers teeming with these beautiful fish. The Tongue River, particularly its upper reaches and tributaries like Little Goose Creek and Big Goose Creek, are renowned for their rainbow trout fishing. Expect a mix of wild and stocked fish, with some surprisingly large holdovers in the deeper pools. The best time to fish is typically from late spring through early fall, avoiding the high runoff periods. Dry fly fishing can be exceptional during the summer months, especially when mayflies or caddisflies are hatching. Nymphing is also productive year-round. A local tip: Access to some of the streams is through National Forest land, so be sure to check current regulations and obtain any necessary permits. Also, be mindful of private property boundaries, as many of these streams flow through ranch lands. Practice catch and release to help maintain the quality of this fishery.
