Walleye
If you're looking for walleye in southwest Wyoming, consider a trip near Lyman. While not a renowned walleye destination, the Flaming Gorge Reservoir, a short drive away, offers some decent opportunities. Spring and fall are your best bets, as the walleye move shallower to spawn in the spring and then feed heavily again before winter. Focus on areas near the dam and the mouths of tributaries. Trolling crankbaits or jigging with worm harnesses are popular and effective techniques. Be aware that Flaming Gorge is a large reservoir, and conditions can change rapidly. Check the wind forecast before heading out, and be prepared for potentially rough water. Access is available through several boat ramps around the reservoir. Also, a Wyoming fishing license is required, and regulations for Flaming Gorge may differ from other Wyoming waters, so double-check the specific rules before you go.
