Walleye

Guernsey Reservoir is a destination for walleye anglers in southeastern Wyoming. This reservoir provides a diverse habitat that supports a healthy walleye population. Spring and fall are traditionally the best times to target walleye, as they are more active in cooler water temperatures. During the spring spawn, focus on rocky shorelines and areas near the dam. In the fall, walleye often move to deeper water, where they can be targeted with jigs, crankbaits, or bottom bouncers. Trolling is also a popular technique. The reservoir has a good reputation for producing quality-sized walleye. A public boat ramp provides access, and be prepared for potential wind, as the reservoir can be exposed. Local tip: Use a fish finder to locate submerged structure and drop-offs, as these are prime walleye holding areas. Pay attention to water clarity, as walleye can be sensitive to changes in visibility.
