Walleye
While Keyhole Reservoir near Gillette is better known for other species, it does offer a decent walleye fishery. Anglers targeting walleye should focus on the deeper areas of the reservoir, particularly near the dam and along submerged channels. Jigging with live bait or crankbaits are effective methods. Spring and fall are generally the best times, as walleye tend to move shallower during these periods to feed. A practical tip is to check the Wyoming Game and Fish Department website for creel limits and any specific regulations for Keyhole Reservoir. Be aware that water levels can fluctuate, impacting walleye location and behavior. Walleye in Keyhole are generally smaller than in some other Wyoming waters, but persistence can produce some quality fish.
