Popular Fish Species Glendo Reservoir, WY

Walleye

Current Report: Fair
Outlook: Good To Very Good

The Wyoming Game & Fish Department reports "Glendo Reservoir offers excellent Fall walleye fishing". Spring and Summer can be good too, but Fall is prime time. Walleye like to slow cruise around flats and structure close to deep water. Anglers are catching good numbers trolling crankbaits, blade baits and worm harnesses over rocky or sandy bottoms in 10 to 15 feet of water.They primarily feed close to the bottom, When walleye are in 15' to 25' of water a blade bait or a swimbait is a good way to locate the fish. Once you locate a school, a drop-shot rig with minnow-shaped plastics is a good way to work the school. Ice fishing for walleye at Glendo Reservoir is good for several months each year

Current Report: Fair To Good
Outlook: Good To Very Good

Crappie fishing has been decent for average size black and white crappie in Glendo Reservoir, with spurts of time when the fishing is quite good. Crappie are being caught through the ice in Winter, but locals report that Spring is the best time to be on the water for crappie. In early Spring they move into shallow coves to spawn. Rock piles and brush are a good place to cast small crappie jigs or live minnows. Light tackle with 4 lb to 8 lb line is ideal. Locals use fish finders to locate schools of crappie around cover.

Yellow Perch

Current Report: Fair To Good
Outlook: Very Good

Small, underspin jigs, tipped with minnows, grubs or nightcrawlers are catching some of the bigger yellow perch here. Small spoons, spinners and live bait on small hooks also work well.
