About Wyoming

Wyoming is trout country, full stop. The Snake, the Green, and the North Platte headline a state where the water runs cold and clear and the fish grow honest. Add the big stillwaters (Yellowstone Lake, Jackson Lake, Flaming Gorge Reservoir), and a conservation ethic that keeps the fisheries healthy, and you get the Rocky Mountain trip most anglers picture when they close their eyes. Landlocked and unapologetic about it, Wyoming puts everything into its freshwater.

In the west, the Snake River winds through Jackson Hole beneath the Tetons, and its native Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat rise to dry flies against a backdrop that makes it hard to watch your drift. To the south, the Green River below Fontenelle Dam and the sprawling Flaming Gorge Reservoir, shared with Utah, produce trophy brown trout, rainbows, and lake trout. Between technical dry-fly work on clear mountain streams and heavy fish in deep reservoir water, the range of challenges is wide, and the guides who work these fisheries know how to match the trip to the angler.

Head east and the North Platte takes over. Its Grey Reef and Miracle Mile sections near Casper turn out some of the biggest rainbow and brown trout in the continental United States, tailwater fisheries with stable temperatures and thick insect life that stay productive across the calendar. Beyond the marquee names, the high-alpine lakes of the Wind River Range and the rivers of the Bighorn Mountains round out a state where a guided trip can mean a remote backcountry hike or an easy float launched near town.

The fishing comes with company. Elk, moose, deer, and a long list of birds share the water, and a guided day in Wyoming often doubles as a wildlife tour nobody charged extra for. Most sport fisheries carry no commercial fishing pressure, and strict regulations keep the quality high, so what you're fishing is close to what was always there. That's rarer than it should be, and it's the whole point of coming.

Trip guide

Know before you go in Wyoming

Federal permits, lotteries and timed-entry reservations in Wyoming, from Recreation.gov.

  • Timed entryTower Junction to Slough Creek Road Corridor Vehicle Day-Use Tickets

Confirm current requirements with the agency that sets them before your trip. Rules and fees change every season.

  • Fishing License and Conservation Stamp

    Any person 14 years of age or older must possess a valid Wyoming fishing license to fish in the state; annual licenses also require a conservation stamp, though single-day licenses are exempt from it. These can be purchased online or from authorized vendors. Guides will not provide these items.

  • Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Decal and Inspection

    Most watercraft (motorized boats plus hard-sided canoes, kayaks, and drift boats), must carry an AIS decal, renewed annually; small non-motorized inflatable rafts (10 feet or less) and paddleboards are exempt from the decal. Out-of-state watercraft must be inspected by an authorized agent before launching in any Wyoming water. Guided trips using a guide's boat will typically have the boat's compliance handled by the guide, but anglers should be aware of these regulations.

  • Catch-and-Release and Special Regulations

    Many of Wyoming's premier fishing waters, especially on popular rivers, operate under specific catch-and-release or restricted harvest regulations to protect fish populations. Anglers must familiarize themselves with the regulations for the specific water they plan to fish, as rules can vary significantly by location and species. Your guide will provide essential information for your trip.

01Do I need a fishing license for a guided trip in Wyoming?
Yes, every angler 14 and older needs a valid Wyoming fishing license, guide or no guide. An annual license also requires a conservation stamp; a single-day license is exempt from it. Buy in advance; your guide can't provide them.
02What species of fish can I expect to catch on a guided trip?
Trout, in most of their western forms: Yellowstone cutthroat, Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat, rainbow, brown, brook, and lake trout. Which ones you meet depends on the river, lake, and region you fish.
03What is typically included in a guided fishing trip in Wyoming?
Rods, reels, flies, and terminal tackle come with the trip, along with instruction, transportation to the water, and often lunch and drinks. You cover your license and personal items.
04When is the best time of year for guided fishing in Wyoming?
Summer (June-August) for dry-fly fishing at its peak. Fall (September-October) for bigger spawning trout and quieter water. Spring and winter have their own rewards on the tailwaters, plus ice fishing on the reservoirs. There's no bad answer, just different trips.
05Are there any special regulations I should be aware of?
Yes: plenty of Wyoming waters carry their own rules on catch limits, lure restrictions, and catch-and-release. Your guide will know the regulations for the water you're fishing and keep the day compliant.
06Can I keep the fish I catch on a guided trip?
Depends on the water. Many of Wyoming's popular trout fisheries are catch-and-release only or carry tight harvest limits, that discipline is a big part of why the fishing stays this good. Your guide will lay out the rules before the first cast.
