Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 11:26 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Fishing Overview Casper

Casper, Wyoming fishing is dominated by the North Platte River, with legendary tailwaters like Grey Reef, Miracle Mile, and Fremont Canyon all within easy striking distance of town. These cold, nutrient-rich reaches support dense populations of wild rainbow and brown trout, along with cutthroat and cutbows, giving anglers four-season opportunities for both numbers and size.

Winter and early spring on the North Platte around Casper are prime times for nymphing. Focus on deeper runs and slow seams where trout conserve energy. Standard rigs with a stonefly or worm pattern paired with a small midge or baetis nymph under an indicator are deadly. Use enough split shot to tick bottom and adjust depth often. On sunny winter afternoons, look for subtle midge hatches and be ready with small Griffith’s Gnats or CDC emergers for pods of rising fish in softer edges.

From April through early July, flows increase and fishing spreads out. Target transition water—riffles dropping into knee- to thigh-deep runs—using nymphs, streamers, and, when conditions line up, dry-dropper setups. Streamer anglers should work the banks from a drift boat with articulated baitfish patterns in olive, white, and black. In off-color water, scale up to heavier, more visible streamers and cover water quickly, concentrating on inside bends, submerged structure, and freshly flooded grass lines.

Summer around Casper brings consistent dry-fly fishing early and late in the day. Hoppers, ants, and small caddis patterns are staples on the main river and side channels. Fish terrestrials tight to grassy banks, undercut edges, and foam lines. Midday, when the sun is high and fish slide deeper, switch to nymphs or small streamers and work midriver troughs. Light fluorocarbon tippet helps in clear water; downsize to 5X or 6X when fish get educated.

Fall is trophy time on the North Platte as brown trout stage and move for the spawn. Larger streamers in natural or muted colors produce big fish, especially on overcast days or low-light windows. Strip patterns across current seams, swing them through tailouts, or dead-drift and twitch near structure. At the same time, blue-winged olive hatches can bring pods of trout to the surface; match the hatch with slender, low-riding dries and long leaders.

Beyond the river, Casper-area reservoirs and lakes like Alcova, Pathfinder, and Gray Reef Reservoir offer excellent walleye, trout, and warmwater fishing. In spring and early summer, work wind-blown points and shallow flats for walleye using jig-and-minnow or jig-and-plastic combinations, bottom-bouncers with crawlers, and crankbaits. As water warms, transition to deeper humps, channel edges, and submerged roadbeds, watching electronics closely to stay on fish.

These reservoirs also hold perch, crappie, bass, and occasional tiger muskie. For panfish, key on weed edges and rocky transitions with small jigs or live bait. Early and late in the day, cast small crankbaits or soft plastics around riprap and points for smallmouth and largemouth bass. Whatever your target, Casper’s blend of blue-ribbon river trout and productive reservoirs means every trip can be tailored to current conditions and your preferred style of fishing.

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 1 beaches and bays in this area.
