Wyoming offers wide-open fishing waters shaped by elevation, wind, and long seasons. From large plains reservoirs to mountain lakes and canyon impoundments, anglers will find strong trout fisheries alongside opportunities for walleye, perch, bass, and other warm-water species depending on location.
Many Wyoming waters are reservoirs managed for irrigation, power generation, or flood control. Water levels can fluctuate significantly through the year, and shoreline access may change with conditions. Wind exposure is also a major factor on open reservoirs and can affect both safety and fishing success.
Below is a growing list of Wyoming lakes and reservoirs with basic details, access notes, and fishing information where available. As coverage expands, individual lake pages will include seasonal patterns, water context, and practical tips to help plan a trip.
