Wyoming Fishing Trips
Glendo Reservoir
Glendo has excellent fishing to offer. Heavy walleyes are in abundance in Spring and
early Summer. Although its not known for its Crappie fishing, Glendo holds the state
records for both white and black crappie. White at 2.31 lbs., and black at 2.50 lbs.
Catfishing is good, if you know where to go. There is excellent Camping at Glendo and a
lot of it. It was reported in the 2003 North Platte News letter that the average sized
walleye in the reservoir is over 19 inches!
Located on the North Platte River, 6 miles southeast of the town of Glendo, in Platte
County. Glendo State Park has 7 campgrounds, 6 boat ramps, and a marina concession.
Available species include walleye, yellow perch, and channel catfish. Channel catfish
are stocked in the reservoir. Brown trout, rainbow trout, and channel catfish are
stocked in the river above the reservoir. Below the dam, the river is stocked with
brown, rainbow, and cutthroat trout. Plans to stock the river immediately below the
dam with largemouth bass and channel catfish.Scenic overlooks and three interpretive
nature trails.
The Glendo Dam Wetlands Trail, located along the river, just below the
dam, features two fishing/observation piers. The Muddy Bay Wetlands Interpretive Nature
Trail is located on the east side of Muddy Bay. Glendo Dam Overlook Trail is located
north of Glendo Dam. Across from Glendo Powerplant below the dam there is a boat ramp
