Walleye
Sundance, Wyoming, might be better known for its Western history, but anglers can find some surprisingly good walleye fishing within a short drive. Key to success is Keyhole Reservoir, a sprawling body of water about an hour east of Sundance. Walleye fishing here really heats up in the spring, just after ice-out, and again in the fall as water temperatures cool. Focus on areas near the dam and along submerged points and ridges. Trolling crankbaits or jigging with live bait rigs are popular and effective techniques. A local tip: Keyhole can get windy, so check the forecast before you head out. Also, be aware of changing water levels, which can affect fish location. The walleye in Keyhole tend to be healthy and relatively abundant, offering a good chance at catching both eater-sized fish and larger trophy walleye.
