PLATTE COUNTY’S BEST FISHING LOCATIONS REVEALED
If you’ve ever headed out to the nearest stream, river, lake, or reservoir and cast in a line, you likely know the tranquility, excitement, and entertainment fishing delivers. Just like other sports and activities, angling can be therapeutic. It’s a great activity to enjoy solo or with friends and family and allows you to explore some of the most beautiful natural areas and bodies of water. We have some of the most incredible fishing in Platte County, Wyoming, as it’s home to 142 rivers, lakes, and fishing locations. The best part is that, unlike other parts of the nation, Platte County offers fishing all four seasons — sometimes, you fish from the ice. In our local waters, we have black crappie, blue catfish, channel catfish, brown bullhead, largemouth bass, sturgeon, walleye, rainbow trout, yellow perch, and shortnose gar.
While we have two state parks loaded with great fishing, beyond the parks, Wheatland Reservoir and Grayrocks are two popular fishing areas, both of which offer camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities. The North Platte River in Guernsey also offers diverse fishing, and floating down it features some of the best scenery around. The river is home to tons of rainbow and brown trout, and it’s reported that this location offers roughly 4,000 catchable fish per mile! On June 18, we celebrate National Go Fishing Day, when we can embrace the sport of fishing! Father’s Day also falls on this day, bringing us to our next question: What great fishing spots will you be venturing out to this month to celebrate? Let us know!
Happy fishing! Visit WyPlatteCo.com/fishing for more information!
