• Where to Fish on Strong Number 4 Reservoir

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Fish documented in Laramie County include white sucker, brook trout, longnose sucker and brown trout. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. Fish this water where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 64°F, with January the cold end at about 22°F. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Once it clears, about mid April, the fishing comes on quickly. Climate averages put the opening at about mid April and the closing near late November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Plan any trip to this water around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Failing this one, try Strong Number 1 Reservoir, 3.1 miles away. Confirm before you fish this water.
