Fishing at Hirsig Number 2 Reservoir, Laramie County, Wyoming

• Overview

  Hirsig Number 2 Reservoir sits in Laramie County, out in Wyoming. Country round the bank runs to farm and woodlot. Small at around 8 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Ranchettes is the closest place, 28 miles off. Then Cheyenne, 32 miles, and Wheatland, 33 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Hirsig Number 2 Reservoir

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Reported across Laramie County: white sucker, brook trout and longnose sucker. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. This water gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 26°F to 67°F. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. This water fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Hirsig Number 1 Reservoir sits 0.3 miles off and takes the overflow. Check the position at this water before loading the car.
