Granite Springs Reservoir, Wyoming: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Granite Springs Reservoir is set in Laramie County, Wyoming. The surroundings are pine and birch. Around 176 acres of surface means several distinct areas to work. Bank access stretches around 3.0 miles in total. Nothing else we list in Laramie County covers more water. Laramie sits 21 miles from the bank. Cheyenne is 22 miles away, with South Greeley at 23 miles. You are close to a county edge here; who manages the access can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Granite Springs Reservoir

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. County-wide records name white sucker, brook trout, longnose sucker, brown trout and rainbow trout. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Granite Springs Reservoir gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 64°F, while January sits near 24°F. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from mid April. Climate figures give an open season running mid April to late November. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Granite Springs Reservoir runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. A boat ramp sits about half a mile from the water. The closest car park is half a mile away, so pack accordingly. A pier half a mile from here gives a platform over deeper water. There is camping recorded roughly half a mile off. There is a toilet block some half a mile out. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Check the position at Granite Springs Reservoir before loading the car.
