Fish species in Healy 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.

Healy Reservoir is a reservoir in Johnson County, Wyoming and covers about 630 acres.

The best plan at Healy Reservoir is to choose one arm or shoreline and work it from shallow cover to the first deep break.

What Makes Healy Reservoir Different

Healy Reservoir is a small northeast Wyoming lake known for tiger muskie, walleye, yellow perch, largemouth bass, and stonecat.

Use jigs for walleye or perch, cast plastics for bass, and switch to heavy leaders and large lures when tiger muskie are the goal.

How Healy Reservoir Fishes

Healy has produced very large tiger muskie, but the lake also holds many smaller perch. Those two targets need completely different tackle and should not be forced into one shoreline pass.

Give largemouth bass, stonecat, tiger muskie and walleye separate passes when they use different water. On Healy Reservoir, a lure set for one fish should not be dragged through every point, weed edge, and stretch of open water.

Around Healy Reservoir, after two bites, note wind, water color, depth, and bottom. For a trip to Healy Reservoir, repeat that short pattern on the next matching feature instead of starting over across the lake.

At Healy Reservoir, before making a long move, change lure depth or speed once near the best spot. That quick test can show whether the fish moved a few feet or the area went quiet at Healy Reservoir.

On Healy Reservoir, let the first two catches set the plan for the next hour. When fishing Healy Reservoir, match their depth, nearby cover, lure speed, and the kind of bottom before changing areas, because those clues say more than a single lucky bite.
