Fish species in Deaver Reservoir

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.

Deaver Reservoir is a reservoir in Park County, Wyoming.

The recorded size of Deaver Reservoir is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Deaver Reservoir include Green Sunfish, Rainbow Trout, and Walleye.

For walleye, work a jig, minnow rig, or small crankbait along points and the old channel edge at Deaver Reservoir.

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

How to Read the Water

At Deaver Reservoir, make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

On Deaver Reservoir, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.

A Simple Tackle Plan

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 at Deaver Reservoir.

Around Deaver Reservoir, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
