What’s biting

Each species is scored against its own water-temperature range and tide preference, then wind, weather and warnings. The rules are Wyoming non-tidal regulations for these waters.

Walleye

Walleye

Sander vitreus

80Worth the tripTonight 2 am to Monday 2 am

Water

No water reading here right now. Walleye bite in 50–72° water, best near 62°.

Why

Walleye feeds aggressively in low light. Light breeze — ruffles the surface so fish spook less, and casting is easy. Holds 10–40 ft down.

Keep

15" minimum · 6 a day

Open. Keep fish within the limits. 6 walleye a day; every walleye under 15" must be released, and fish must be kept whole until you are off the water.

Solunar tables are a popular heuristic. A peer-reviewed test found they don’t predict catch on their own, so here they only nudge the score when the tide or moon already agree. How the score works

About this spot

A 12,000-acre North Platte River reservoir in eastern Wyoming — the state's top walleye fishery alongside strong rainbow trout, with abundant access through Glendo State Park. Walleye work the points and flats; the trout fishery is supported by stocking and the cold river inflow.

6 walleye a day and every walleye under 15" released; keep them whole until you are off the water. 6 trout a day. Northern pike are nongame here and must be killed.
