Green River - Fontenelle Tailwater

Below Fontenelle Dam in Lincoln County, Wyoming

Fontenelle dam creates one of the best tailwater fisheries in the west. This section of the Green River is the ultimate tailwater experience for anglers. The impact of more consistent flows and water temperature makes food more abundant making this a real Trophy trout fishery. Rainbow, Brown and Cutthroat trout are found here in good numbers and most impressively the quality of fish. The opportunity for Trout exceeding 20 inches is very high here with many pushing the 2-foot mark. These fish are as hard fighting as you will find in the west. This oasis in the desert is a one of kind experience for all anglers. Fontenelle provides a wade fisherman’s paradise with juicy runs and trophy fish.

Our endorsed team helps create the experience of a lifetime with deep knowledge of this renowned river system.
