Southwest Wyoming Fishing Report

The cooler temperatures that we have been having has made Southwestern Wyoming a much more fishable option again. However, the storms have brought a lot of wind with them. There is some moss being let loose in the water, but not nearly as bad as it was this time last year. Flows below Fontenelle Reservoir are sitting at 1160 CFS.

As with the Green below Flaming Gorge, the terrestrial fishing is still good with hoppers, ants, beetles, and crickets. You will see midge activity early in the morning and some Baetis and caddis activity later in the day. Streamer fishing has been heating up. White and gold, olive and copper, and black and peacock have been my go to colors up north as well.

The Kokanee run has begun and contrary to popular belief, the brown trout spawn earlier in Wyoming then they do down in Utah. Be mindful of spawning fish.
