Wyoming is one of the best places to fish… and if you love fly fishing, you definitely need to spend a few days in Northwestern part of the state.

There’s a secret to catching really big trout. You just gotta know where to look. To help you out, start first by planning a fishing trip to the Bighorn River in Wyoming.

Just outside of Manderson, perhaps 100 miles east of Yellowstone, you’ll find some of the biggest trout in the US that are just jumping out of the water. The Bighorn River is easily accessible by flying into Cody or just off I-25 if you’re coming south from Colorado or West on I-90 from South Dakota.

The river is packed with huge Rainbow and Brown Trout. The cool waters from the dam above keep the water from freezing during the winter and cold in the summer for an extra long growing season.

Expect nothing but lots of big fish when planning your trip to the Bighorn River, WY. Now I’m not gonna tell y’all where I exactly go, but with 11,000 trout per stretch of mile, I’m sure that anywhere along the river will do just fine.
