• Where to Fish on Hirsig Number 1 Reservoir

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Reported across Laramie County: white sucker, brook trout, longnose sucker and brown trout. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Read this water before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 67°F and January reads 26°F. Fishing continues through most of the calendar, with quiet spells rather than closures. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. This water runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Should this one be busy, Hirsig Number 2 Reservoir is 0.3 miles off. What applies at this water may have changed since it was mapped.
