Laramie Plains Lakes Fishing Report July 2022

The Laramie Plains Lakes have been fishing good to great!  All of them have nice rainbow trout in good numbers averaging 16-22 inches! However, if you want to catch brown trout, we recommend you head out to Twin Buttes reservoir and Lake Hattie.  Diamond Lake has solid numbers of Bear River Cutthroat trout as well!

Fishing from shore and wading is common. However, getting out in a float tube or boat is highly recommended. It seems as though the trout get wise to the distance bank anglers cast, so getting out a little farther will often increase your chances with better hookups.

Spin fisherman will do great with spoons,spinners,rapalas, and fly and bubble rigs.  One of our favorites is a gold blade,black/yellow body Panther Martin spinner size 1/8.

Fly fisherman can sight fish to surface rising trout with dry flies on the surface or retrieved just under the surface film.  Two fly nymph rigs fished under an indicator are also very productive.  Fishing big streamers on floating or sinking lines will also produce savage strikes and typically target bigger fish.
