Fish species in Turner 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.

Turner Reservoir is a reservoir in Weston County, Wyoming and covers about 8.5 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Turner Reservoir include Largemouth Bass and Rainbow Trout.

For largemouth bass, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover at Turner Reservoir.

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

How to Read the Water

On Turner Reservoir, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.

Season by Season

Around Turner Reservoir, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.

A Simple Tackle Plan

At Turner Reservoir, 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.

Record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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 at Turner Reservoir.
