The Wyoming Game and Fish have released a brief fishing outlook for the Sheridan Region.

Game and Fish reports anglers may face some challenges when fishing in Wyoming this spring and summer. Low water levels in numerous parts of the state, along with expected warm temperatures as the summer progresses may affect fish and those who pursue them.

However, the department reports that the forecast looks good for the Cowboy State’s numerous sportfish. Travel to higher elevation locations in the Wyoming backcountry will likely yield fish with more energy due to cooler temperatures.   

Anglers taking advantage of the fishing opportunities in the Cowboy State are advised the updates to Wyoming Game and Fish’s Chapter 46 fishing regulations for 2026 took effect Jan. 1. New regulations include new tackle requirements on the North Platte River and expanding harvest opportunities in the Jackson Region.

For anglers who fish throughout Wyoming, Game and Fish Department fish division personnel have provided a spring-summer fishing outlook for regions around the state. Click here.
