Fishing near Gillette, WY

Set in Campbell County on Wyoming's northeastern plains, Gillette anchors a region built around warmwater reservoir fishing and prairie-river access. The marquee draw is Keyhole Reservoir, a 14,720-acre impoundment on the Belle Fourche River about 60 miles northeast, one of only two motor-boating reservoirs in northeast Wyoming. The undammed Powder River and trout-holding stretches of the Belle Fourche River round out the local scene.
