Fish species in Buffalo Bones

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Buffalo Bones is a reservoir in Natrona County, Wyoming and covers about 4 acres, and reaches about 13 feet.

Buffalo Bones is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Buffalo Bones include Rainbow Trout.

For rainbow trout, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water at Buffalo Bones.

How to Read the Water

When fishing Buffalo Bones, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.

Season by Season

On Buffalo Bones, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

At Buffalo Bones, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.

Around Buffalo Bones, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
