Quick answer

Commonly documented species: Rainbow Trout, Snake River Cutthroat Trout, Colorado River Cutthroat Trout, Bonneville Cutthroat Trout, Bear River Cutthroat Trout, Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout, Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Lake Trout, Golden Trout, Tiger Trout, Splake, Kokanee Salmon, Arctic Grayling, Walleye, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, and Tiger Muskie.

What anglers should know

Wyoming provides detailed, frequently updated stocking records with filters for species, water, and county. The long archive is particularly valuable for high lakes and reservoirs that receive small fish on multi-year rotations.

Mountain lakes and streams receive multiple native cutthroat forms, golden trout, grayling, and other salmonids, while reservoirs add kokanee, walleye, catfish, bass, or tiger muskie. Yellowstone National Park and the Wind River Reservation follow separate jurisdictions.

When stocking happens in Wyoming

Stocking builds after ice-out in April, slows during midsummer heat, and resumes in early fall before winter. Recent records are updated more frequently than the monthly historical archive once was.

Reading tip

Confirm jurisdiction, species or subspecies, average length, and water name; a remote aerial fingerling stocking is not the same as a roadside catchable-trout delivery.
