Fishing near Laramie, WY

Sitting in Albany County on the high, wind-scoured Laramie Plains, Laramie puts trout water in every direction. Wild brown trout hold in the freestone runs of the Big Laramie River, while the alkaline Laramie Plains Lakes — Hattie, Twin Buttes, Meeboer and more, 15 miles west off WY-230 — grow trophy trout. The reservoirs of Curt Gowdy State Park and distant tailwaters like the North Platte round out the scene.
