Walleye
While not as renowned as some other Wyoming locations, Frannie offers some under-the-radar walleye fishing opportunities in the Bighorn River. Walleye fishing here is best in the spring and fall, when water temperatures are cooler. Focus your efforts around structure like submerged rocks, fallen trees, and deeper holes. A popular technique is jigging with minnows or plastics. Access to the Bighorn River can be found via public access points off Highway 310, but be sure to check local regulations regarding permitted fishing areas. A local tip: pay close attention to water levels, as fluctuating flows from upstream dams can impact walleye activity. Consider using heavier jigs to maintain bottom contact in faster currents. The walleye population here tends to be smaller, so practice catch and release to help maintain the fishery.
