Walleye

If you're looking for walleye in Wyoming, don't overlook Wamsutter. While it might not be the first place that comes to mind, the nearby freshwater reservoirs and ponds offer surprisingly good walleye fishing opportunities. The best time to target these fish is during the spring and fall months when water temperatures are cooler. Walleye tend to move into shallower areas during these times to feed. Early mornings and late evenings are prime fishing times. A local tip: focus on areas with submerged structure, like rocky points or drop-offs, as walleye tend to congregate there. Wamsutter's reservoirs can be relatively small, which allows you to effectively cover a lot of water. Be aware that water levels can fluctuate depending on irrigation demands, so check local conditions before heading out. The walleye here may not be trophy-sized giants, but they are plentiful and offer a great chance to hone your skills.
