Current Fishing Weather
Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

Fishing Overview Laramie
Laramie, Wyoming offers a mix of mountain streams, tailwater-style river sections, and prairie reservoirs that fish well from ice-out through late fall. The Laramie River itself, both above and below town, is the area’s backbone, with nearby lakes such as Lake Hattie, Twin Buttes, Gelatt, and Meeboer providing stillwater trout and warmwater opportunities. At higher elevations, alpine lakes in the Snowy Range and Medicine Bow National Forest round out the local options.
Seasonal patterns are driven by altitude and snowpack. From ice-out in March or April through runoff, the Laramie River can fish well with nymphs and streamers in slower edges and deeper bends. Peak river fishing typically arrives after runoff settles in June and continues into early October, with cool nights keeping water temperatures trout-friendly. Stillwaters like Lake Hattie and Gelatt warm earlier and often produce the first strong bite of spring for rainbow and brown trout, then transition to mixed trout and warmwater action through summer. High-country lakes generally open a little later, with the best window from late June through September before early snow shuts things down.
Habitat around Laramie is diverse. On the Laramie River you’ll find classic western riffle–run–pool structure, undercut banks, and brushy corners that hold brown trout, especially on the lower stretches. Above town and toward the Snowies, smaller tributaries and meadow sections favor rainbows and some cutthroats in pocket water and deeper undercuts. The plains reservoirs west and north of Laramie are wind-swept and relatively shallow, with rocky points, mudflats, and submerged weedbeds providing key structure for trout, perch, and warmwater species. In the high country, clear alpine lakes with rocky shorelines and drop-offs call for longer casts and stealthy presentations to brookies, cutthroats, and the occasional lake trout or tiger trout.
Effective techniques vary by water type. On the Laramie River, nymph rigs with stoneflies, mayfly nymphs, and small attractors under an indicator take fish consistently; focus on seams, tailouts, and the first soft water below riffles. Streamer fishing can be excellent for larger browns, especially on overcast days—swing or strip woolly buggers and articulated patterns tight to banks and around structure. During summer, match the hatch with small mayfly and caddis dries in the evening, and carry terrestrial patterns like hoppers, ants, and beetles for breezy afternoons along grassy banks.
Stillwater tactics around Laramie reward mobility and attention to wind. At Lake Hattie and similar reservoirs, trout often cruise windward shores where waves push food; cast spoons, spinners, or suspending crankbaits across wind-blown points and retrieve just fast enough to keep them moving. Fly anglers do well with intermediate lines and woolly buggers, leeches, and damsel patterns worked along drop-offs and weed edges. For perch, crappie, and occasional walleye, anchor or drift slowly and fish small jigs, soft plastics, or bait near bottom transitions and submerged structure; subtle jigging and staying in contact with your lure are key.
On alpine lakes, keep a low profile and lengthen leaders in the clear water. Early and late in the day, fish shallow with small spoons or streamers; as the sun rises, work slightly deeper drop-offs with slow retrieves or count-down presentations. Throughout the Laramie area, wind is a constant factor—use it to your advantage by targeting wind-blown shorelines, but step up to slightly heavier tackle and keep your casts low to slice through gusts.
