Walleye

Walleye fishing near Burlington, Wyoming, means heading to the larger reservoirs further east. While not as abundant as in other parts of the country, walleye can be found in these waters. The best time to target them is during the spring and fall when the water temperatures are cooler. Walleye tend to be light-sensitive, so fishing during low-light conditions, such as dawn and dusk, can significantly increase your chances of success. Trolling crankbaits or using jigs tipped with live bait are popular methods. A local tip: pay attention to depth; walleye often congregate along drop-offs and submerged structure. Be prepared for windy conditions, as the reservoirs can be exposed. Keep in mind that walleye populations can fluctuate, so check local fishing reports for the most up-to-date information. The walleye you catch will likely be smaller than in other states, but the pursuit can be rewarding.
