Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 15:36 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 Cody

Cody, Wyoming fishing centers on the Shoshone River system, Buffalo Bill Reservoir, and a web of smaller creeks that give anglers options in almost every condition. The town sits close to the North Fork and South Fork of the Shoshone, both classic freestone trout rivers, while the reservoir adds deep-water structure and stillwater opportunities for trout, kokanee, and warmwater species.

Seasonal patterns are driven by snowmelt and water temperatures. Spring fishing usually starts in earnest as ice pulls off Buffalo Bill Reservoir and lower river sections begin to clear. Pre-runoff, focus on slower seams and tailouts with nymph rigs—stonefly, mayfly, and midge patterns paired with a small attractor. As runoff peaks, streams run high and off-color; this is when reservoirs, tailouts of tributary inlets, and sheltered backwaters shine for both trout and perch or walleye. Summer brings consistent flows and aggressive surface activity; early and late in the day hopper–dropper rigs and attractor dry flies are staples on the Shoshone, with small spinners and spoons productive for spin anglers. Fall offers some of the most predictable fishing of the year: browns stage for the spawn and feed heavily on larger streamers, while rainbows and cutthroat key on blue-winged olives and small mayflies.

The North Fork Shoshone is a prime destination for wild cutthroat, rainbows, and browns. It is a swift mountain river with boulder gardens, pocket water, and deep runs. Read water carefully: target softer pockets behind boulders, inside bends, and transition zones where fast riffles dump into deeper pools. Use heavy nymphs or tungsten bead-head flies to reach fish quickly in fast water, and switch to short, accurate casts rather than long drifts. In higher clarity, subtle natural patterns work best; after storms or slight stain, bulkier streamers or bright attractors can trigger strikes.

The South Fork Shoshone fishes more intimately, with a mix of riffles, cutbanks, and slower glides. Wade anglers can cover a lot of water here by working systematically: first run nymphs tight to seams and current edges, then swing small streamers or soft hackles through the tailouts. Dry–dropper setups are especially effective in late summer when terrestrials are present. Use longer, lighter leaders in the clearer pools and approach from downstream, staying low to avoid spooking fish.

Buffalo Bill Reservoir offers different tactics. Lake trout, rainbows, cutthroat, and kokanee relate strongly to depth and structure. In spring and fall, shore anglers can reach cruising trout with spoons, shallow-diving crankbaits, and woolly buggers stripped on full or intermediate sinking lines. As water warms, trolling becomes more effective: run crankbaits, spinners, or small dodger-and-fly setups along points, drop-offs, and old river channels. Watch your sonar for bait balls and suspended marks, then adjust running depth accordingly. Jigging spoons or tube jigs vertically over humps and ledges is a reliable way to target deeper trout and lake trout.

Smaller creeks and tributaries around Cody can fish extremely well, especially in late summer when mainstem flows warm or see heavy pressure. Focus on undercut banks, plunge pools, and shaded sections. A simple selection of small attractor dries, bead-head nymphs, and 1/16-oz spinners will cover most situations. Fish quickly but thoroughly—two or three good drifts through the best lie, then move upstream. Stealth is crucial; keep your profile low and cast from a distance.

Across all waters, matching tactics to clarity and flow is key. Carry a range of weight for nymphing, from split shot to tungsten flies, and adjust often until you’re ticking bottom occasionally. In windy Cody conditions, slightly heavier flies and shorter leaders improve turnover. When fish are pressured, size down tippet and flies, lengthen leaders, and target secondary holding water—edges and pockets others overlook. With diverse rivers, stillwaters, and seasons, the Cody area rewards anglers who stay mobile and adapt their approach.
